Re: Gothard resigned
Some things have, reportedly, been changed already. When I was in ATI, students as young as 14 were sent to Training Centers, even overseas, for months at a time to work. The new President's wife didn't even know that happened, though she was a student, and they've made it so that you have to be an adult to work for them.
One of the areas that some of the worse teachings came in was through the "Basic Care" Department. That whole department has been closed down.
They want to provide homeschool support without the "non-optional" teachings...they see them as possibly helpful suggestions.
But not all former ATI students trust the new leadership. We've had really good experiences with the new president. My husband and I both knew him years ago and see a huge change in him. But time will tell how much that changes the system, if it survives all the lawsuits.
