Scientology Schools K->12 How do they do in College after that?
Asked by adobeprincessI know these Delphi Schools have a different system with the Hubbard "Tech" Method of looking up words in a dictonary instead of using reasoning skills. I am wondering how these students do on national exams and then how they do in conventional college enviornments. Not fashion school or art school, but regualr academics like Medical Fields, Engineering and any other fields that require problem solving that one can actually get a job with. Not progams that are not Bachelors degree or more advanced at an acredited universtiy. I wonder how these studnent would do in Law School for Instance. Would one be able to use such reasoning skills after a full scientology schooling or would the study tech have totally messed up their reasoning skills? Any stats on what this does to the brain of a person and how it shows up? How many people can go beyond fashion school, acting and music careers? Oh yeah and beyound that of a Chef. Not that it is bad to be one of these things, but I think a student should be prepared to be whatever they want and not have to fight against their education. Of course we have to take into account that some students can be anything reguardless of how bad any school is. We need to compare this with regular schools. Thank you Xenu. Scotty what program are you in for college and what degree have you completed or are you working on? Are you an active student?

I think you probably know by now that Applied Scholastics’ promotional materials nor its website will provide a well supported examination of Study Technology, and Applied Scholastics, ABLE, etc. "Delphi claims 96% of its students apply for admission to college. Included in a packet of explanatory and promotional material they provided me was a page entitled "Partial List of Colleges and Universities that have Accepted Delphi Graduates." I wrote each of the 35 U.S. schools on that list. Of the 27 that replied, only 3 acknowleged having received applications from Delphi students in recent years; 16 said either they had not received such applications or they could not consider them. For example, U.C. Santa Barbara said it "...does not accept students applying from Delphi Academy...because Delphi is not an accredited institution." So, I researched secondary school accreditation in California. I had a correspondence with the Director of Undergraduate Admissions for the University of California, who told me U.C. recognizes only one accrediting agency: the Accrediting Commission for Schools. That organization wrote me to say Delphi is not accredited. I contacted an official in the state department of education who told me the state does not accredit schools. I wrote American College Testing, which replied, "Few if any Delphi students have taken the ACT test." I wrote Educational Testing Service; unfortunately, they were unwilling to provide information about Delphi students' history with the SAT's." home.snafu.de/tilman/mystory/study.html This is a good website on the subject www.studytech.org In short, they don't realise any credible checkable statistics, and when they do they are shown to be dubious. Experts in the Education field invariably don't like it at best. This article will demonstrate this, and confirm what I said about the experts. www.studytech.org/study_tech4.php And the conclusion: www.studytech.org/study_tech5.php Here's another look at, some figures are mentioned, but it's from 1997. home.snafu.de/tilman/mystory/delphi_academy.html Johanna Lemlech, a professor of education at USC specializing in curriculum and teaching, calls the books "awful." They "violate everything we know about how children learn, and appropriate pedagogy," she says. "In short, these books should be carefully placed in the cylindrical file." www.studytech.org/archives/000008.php I also think you will find that for the teaching they follow and use the established curriculum as they have to by law, and so the study tech is nothing more than an unneccessary aid in their education. Thus their results should be around the same as other schools in similiar areas. I would also venture that you won't find a Delphi School sitting in the middle of a socially disadvantaged area. So I did some research of my own looked it up on K12 website, found a Delphi School. Within a 35 km radius of one of their schools the avg. for grade 10 math was 74%m, Delphi scored 67% For english lang. / arts the avg. was 72.5% while Delphi got 73%, which sat in between the middle of the two closest schools, 68% and 81%. Those 2 schools both outdid Delphi on the whole, and are only 9 and 10 km away... The two closest schools actually have more disadvantaged kids than delphi, although delphi did actually give the most stats on this. www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/cs_compare/in?street=501+Armory+Rd&city=Delphi&zip=46923&area=m&miles=1000&level=h&tab=over&sortby=&school_selected=331&begin=0&x=12&y=5&showall=1 I tried to look at the Delphi Academies, but there were no results for the ones I looked at...
