Keynote Address at the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology New York (cont.)
It's no wonder that
within the first five years of their career, four out of every ten
teachers quit their jobs in disgust. Then there is all the talk of
money. When it comes to teachers, their level of income is a
disgrace.
But don't think that
will do it. Because, in the last 30 years, U.S. funding for education
totals trillions. Yet during that same period, scholastic standards
took a plunge so steep in 1995, test officials resorted to "lowering
the bar" of passing scores to mask the harsh reality.
So now what do we find?
More labels: ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), dyslexia and a host of others. And
even more insidious is the current trend where parents are forced
against their wishes to drug their children as a requirement for
enrollment.
Again they are
addressing symptoms. Anxiety, hyperactivity, and yes even delinquency
and violence are not the cause of illiteracy: They are the result of
illiteracy.
That is why we also
sponsor the Applied Scholastics network, employing a real technology
of study. It addresses the actual barriers to study, those factors
that can prevent comprehension of any subject and applicable in any
level of education and school of learning.
As just one example of
results, there's South Africa. There we taught 20,000 teachers, who
further brought this technology to a million students.Within
one year, failure rates dropped by 75% and violence by another 90%.
