It is the duty of the school and not the SES to appoint its teaching staff and thus it is also the school's duty to deal with these issues. Yes, but this doesn't happen in practice, St. James is run by Ses- they're all in Ses, most teachers, governors and the headteachers. Those who were witnesses ...

People in the introductory groups, part 1, 2 etc. Can wear skirts/trousers/ski-suits whatever! Later it is all part of 'coming under the discipline' and dressing with grace, elegance, modesty etc. No-one can force anyone to wear a skirt, of course, but I think you'll find that in Ses company at leas...

What sort of person wills an aquaintance as their child's carer when there is steady reliable flesh and blood family able to do the job? When they feel the aquaintance knows the children better, or would be better able to take care of them, or has never had children of their own and would love to h...

St. James/St. Vedast = Ses, or it is influenced infinitely by it, even today.

But Ses doesn't necessarily = St. James, there's more to it than the day schools.

Re: I've been the SES for twenty years

The main thing that's bugged me over the years is the white-middle-class character of School. I know what you mean! I've never been forced to believe anything I'm told, but I would also have to say that the 'drip drip' effect of constant exposure to Advaita, can subtly modify your belief system ove...

Re: Debenham following MacClaren's Orders

Does anyone really suppose that those days are over? Does anyone really believe that Boddy's appointment as headmaster has nothing to do with similar orders from Lambie?... I think most of us are hoping that those days are over. If they're not, then there are laws being broken as society has since ...

Re: Debenham following MacClaren's Orders

Has Boddy ever been a teacher? I don't know but he has a background in political lobbying with some interesting incidents down the years, as a clippings search will testify. I think the question may have been retorical? But he has certainly never been a teacher and as far as I know has never been t...

Re: To Alban

I suspect you're right about Mr. Rasmussen possibly having seen enough of education by force; but the point I was making is that his departure from the teaching staff of st james also had something to do with the fact that he had definitely chosen to depart from this ses - first...i] I cannot see t...

I think most of us are hoping that those days are over. If they're not, then there are laws being broken as society has since seen fit to legislate for the protection of children in schools. Which laws are being broken? Is the influence of the Ses on St. James illegal? I think it is right that you ...

It would be illegal to go into the school grounds to leaflet I should think, but they would have no power to stop you if you were in the streets outside offering information if people were interested. I'm sure plenty would be! It might be good to let some of the kids in the school know the truth. Mo...

Hmmm, there are still efforts to convert the new blood though.
It's what the Ses really needs right now- a steady input of new members from the day schools, teacher or pupil. Otherwise it will all fall apart. A society is nothing without members.
Right or Wrong?
Certainly not illegal.
