Interaction With Education
Scientology has arranged at least one anti-psychiatry exhibition in Australia, and is active in the media about what it claims are the dangers of psychiatric drugs and the treatment of ADHD. Scientology, through its group Narconon has run an anti-drug campaign in dozens of schools in Melbourne, giving presentations and handing out brochures. Scientology members have also attended events like the Big Day Out to give out anti-drug information.
One school in Australia, the Athena School in Newtown, Sydney uses Scientology study technology. The Athena School has 90 pupils ranging from pre-school to year 10. It has eight teachers, who have completed six months' training in L. Ron Hubbard teaching techniques but do not hold formal qualifications. Some children at the school are involved in Scientology community out reach programs operating under different names, including Drug Free Ambassadors.

Famous quotes containing the words interaction with, interaction and/or education:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“Just because multiples can turn to each other for companionship, and at times for comfort, don’t be fooled into thinking you’re not still vital to them. Don’t let or make multiples be parents as well as siblings to each other. . . . Parent interaction with infants and young children has everything to do with how those children develop on every level, including how they develop their identities.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Very likely education does not make very much difference.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
