I usually keep my typing to myself after reading your comments because I do not agree with alot of what you say but this is unimaginable to me. Why would you choose to not school your children?

Unschooling...that's just not fair to those poor kids.  And IMO neither is elimination communication. Trying to potty train a 6month old baby is very stressful on a little thing that shouldn't have to worry about something like that.

Yulia. I have a question for you. Why is it that where you live there are no young adults? Do you think they do not like your community? In the statistics of your "towns" website it shows there are NO young adults......hmmmm why is that? | ||

Cult Education Forum :: Recovery from Destructive Cults and Groups :: Gurdjieffian magical beliefs and us-vs-them mentality More interesting facts about your community. Below is part of a post from someone who has been there I guess. Then the Nyland ones, which are known to be somewhat verbally abusive. I was in this group during two periods, for a period of about two months each time. It was funny because when I came back the things I told the group the first time were the things they were teaching. The first time I was there the teaching was very one-dimensional and the meetings very dull. They totally reject all the other Gurdjieff teachers but Nyland. The meetings both times had about five core members. Never were there more than about six people present. I was verbally ganged up on the second time in the Nyland group, for no reason, and heard the teacher saying that "It is exactly against the teachings of Gurdjieff to out and practice virtuous acts." The teacher seemed to have this kind of dark radiance to him. I think the only reason why he started them ganging up on me is to assert a type of blind authority.

EC, to me, sounds more like training the parents than training the child....and at some point the CHILD is still going to have to be taught to go to the toilet rather than being taken by the parent. Unschooling....don't even get me started on that!!!

I was kind of looking at the nyland website and my first impression was CULT. I don't know, it seems a little strange to me. MM- I was going to give you some good rep but it wouldn't let me.

I think there was a whole other thread on this "un-schooling" thing. Sky, i would tell your step mother to mind her own children and let your child be just that. YOURS. If AP is the style of parenting that you have chosen then just go for it! Some people are are so narrow minded that they cannot see past the fact that you have chosen to do somthing that they did not do, or heard of. I'm sure you're doing a great job!
