 I think they destroyed it long ago, it's just that the parents are aware of it now.

So many hobbies and sports afford what this does- friendship, focusing work ethic and resilience- but without the cheating.

I am genuinely sad for those children that have no other interests- it's a sinking ship and it's honestly a little embarrassing to be associated with it at this point.

I initially hoped that the org would center the children, but clearly they are centering money and business. It's a Damn shame.

No wonder they (other moderators on the main boards) are attempting to control the narrative- even on a anonymous voy board.

They are hoping that the parents are willing to bet on change that is never coming.
