Re: Statement of Acknowledgement from CH

The school recognising, and apologising for, its failures. That is progress. Thank you very much Rob and Julian.

Hence 1990s departures to Thailand and points East, pursuing a burning desire to 'educate' more widely, I suppose.

Re: Ken Grimshaw

This really is getting tiring. Why tiring, Pe.A? Where and when would you prefer to send your children to school from a corporal punishment, or grooming/seduction, point of view? Pick a place and decade - to give people a sense of what you prefer for your children. Feel free to be as honest as you ...

Re: Ken Grimshaw

What specific date? The specific date that it was banned, i suppose... So, what is right or wrong for corporal punishment is defined by place and time, rather like grooming, as you explained here: https://www.chforum.info/php/viewtopic.php?p=149627#p149627 Let's be clear, the only difference betwee...

Re: Ken Grimshaw

How about now? Are you happy to have your children beaten by strangers? If no, at what specific date did ''then' become 'now'?

Re: Ken Grimshaw

I once received 3 'cracks' from him for something I undoubtedly fully deserved Do corporal punishment enthusiasts, practitioners, and apologists generally think that their [corrected!] own children should be beaten by strangers? Do they use corporal punishment themselves to this day? Were you beate...

Re: Ken Grimshaw

Like Ken, Webb was a woodwork teacher, of some renown. I agree, nothing wrong with being friends with anyone. Though it is worth noting that it is not clear from Golfer's remarks whether Ken and McCall were friends.

Re: Ken Grimshaw

Hi Ken, Thank you for posting here. A few questions which may be of general interest and helpful to some ex-pupils follow. Ken, were you acquainted with McCall at CH? I ask because you both went to Thailand at some point - McCall left CH suddenly after 'after being caught trying to lure a boy up to ...

Re: Ken Grimshaw

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREING...!!!!! I think that you mean: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING...!!!!! This is the elongated form of boring.

Re: Ken Grimshaw

It is subtle... On the one hand, a 'good education' should give someone 'critical thinking capabilities' in your view. ....whereas the rich experiences of CH and its world of corporal punishment, convicted and moved-on pedophiles, and management facilitation, has no influence on anyone. Which is a c...

Re: Ken Grimshaw

I thought a good education was meant to give you critical thinking capabilities.
So, you now think that experience or education influences people. But experience does not influence people when it is experience of pedophiles at CH. Is that your position?

On Pe.A's pedophile perspective: Let's be clear, the only difference between grooming and seduction is the age of consent My comment about the ages of consent came with context.
