By the 1920s, 76% of the Native American population was forced to attend boarding schools. Mary Annette Pember is national correspondent for ICT News, and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the legacy these schools left behind, from generational trauma to tribes working even today to reclaim their languages and ceremonies, and why the U.S. took this route to assimilate Native populations in the first place. Her book is “Medicine River: A Story of Survival and the Legacy of Indian Boarding Schools.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

I was listening to Daniel Goleman, the author of #emotionalintelligence yesterday. In the video: https://youtu.be/-qmLoJ7-A80?si=YuawRPJC0iqlnwli he shares that IQ/ cognitive abilities might well be replaced by AI. But EQ or emotional intelligence is a human skill and cannot be replaced. Emotional intelligence will be the skill of the future. But as boarding schools only seem to teach IQ and have little regard for emotions will they become obsolete? Today I quote from ex-boarders like Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, Bear Grylls, Tony Blair about how emotions were dealt with at school. I also share some insights from David Farrell about his experiences in an African boarding school: https://youtu.be/zGgfQ_5mUAw #eq #iq #boardingschoolsyndrome #ai Take care, Piers --- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

#tck #thirdculturekids #girlsboardingschool #boardingschoolsyndromeWhat is a third culture kid (TCK)I would love for you to share what drew you both to create this book about women's experiences boarding school and being Third Culture Kids?Could you please speak to how many of the women missed their adopted homelands and how much this negatively impacted their impressions of the UK?Could you please talk about the research for how children have a very sensory response to place which impacts how they respond to new geographies for the rest of their lives?What was the sensory difference between their homes and boarding school?In particular, we might like to chat about the following if that works for you:Our stories – similarities and differences – both TCK – Nicky mercantile, Linda missionary. Writing a book about women's experiences by women was important to us both. Less has been written about this and some of the books about women have had less traction in the media than those written by and about men. All but one of our participants identify as women. Being different is not safe at BS. Different ‘rules' for men and women – binaries – impossible to ‘be' otherwise.Women in our book felt growing up in a BS was isolating and conformist – either just treated like a bloke in skirts (with no discussion of women's bodily functions or needs, or, raised to be “young ladies” – Joy Schaverien's comment on this is that men go to BS to learn to serve their country, while women are taught to serve men. Shame used as a tool of control – probably reinforced discomfort in our skin and shame about our bodies – constantly ‘on show' and not it a good way. Eg headmaster who ‘supervised' showers – female staff often not in positions of power and are also constrained/disadvantaged by patriarchal structures. Poisonous pedagogy – designed to break the child's will – often early (first afternoon, first night, first meal) and public – so everyone saw the shame.Nicky Moxey, an ex-boarder, originally spent 33 years as a project manager and Agile coach. She is retraining as an integrative counsellor and intends to work with boarding school survivors after she qualifies.Linda Devereux is a third culture kid with more than 40 years of teaching experience in schools and universities.

What does it take to cultivate joy—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a steady presence—even in times of deep uncertainty? In this luminous conversation, Dr. Heidi Brooks is joined by psychologist and author Emma Seppälä and artist Clara Nartey to explore the resilient, regenerative power of joy. With insights drawn from neuroscience, personal experience and artistic practice, Emma and Clara reflect on how inner sovereignty—the ability to return to center amid chaos—can help us meet the world with greater creativity, calm, and connection. From Clara's practice of beginning each day in prayerful gratitude to Emma's decades of meditation and breathwork, Heidi and her guests share how joy can be cultivated as a discipline of attention and care, and reflect on joy as an “inside job”—one that begins with how we treat ourselves and ripples outward in our relationships, our work and our communities. Together, they invite us to consider: What might it look like to build a “circle of delight” around ourselves and others—a nest of safety, authenticity and beauty?  This episode is for anyone seeking a more rooted, soulfully sustainable way to face uncertainty—and to offer something healing to the world in return. Learning Through Experience is produced through the Yale School of Management. What resonates with you about this conversation? We'd love to hear from you—reach out to LTEpodcast@yale.edu.

Both Clara and Emma speak to the mystery of creativity: “It's like the work is asking to be made—and I'm just the channel.” 23:19 – The Trouble With Toxic PositivityThey explore the power of authenticity over forced optimism: “Sometimes the most uplifting thing is just being present through the hard stuff.” 33:37 – What Is Sovereignty?Emma defines it as reclaiming our inner space from inherited self-criticism: “You can't unsee what you've seen.” 37:23 – Joy Begins With You        Clara reminds us: “You can't give joy to others from a place of emptiness.” And something to sit with: Something to sit with: “Gratitude will float you through the rushing waters.”

For decades, wealthy Nigerian families have looked to the UK for elite education - drawn to what they see as prestige, global connections, and academic rigour. But that journey overseas may no longer be necessary. Top British boarding schools like Charterhouse and Rugby are now opening campuses in Nigeria, with others - including Harrow and Millfield - exploring similar moves. But what's behind this growing trend - and is it being embraced or viewed with caution by parents? Mpho Lakaje speaks with parent Lucy Onoriode Okeke, as well as Dr Joy Isa from Rugby School Nigeria, to find out what's driving this shift and what it could mean for the country's education system.

Today I talk about being the sibling, brother or sister of a boarding school survivor.What might have been the impact on you of having your sibling being separated from you and put into a boarding school?Here I explore some of the psychology of the breaking of attachment and the rupture that the siblings must have felt.Beliefs along the lines of: "there must be something wrong with me" "I am not special" might arise in the psyche.The boarder will not have been able to share their experiences and due to the perception that boarding schools are a privilege the child left at home might think there is something wrong with them. Why am I not privileged?Some reflections and thoughts following a great question.Take care,Piers#siblings #boardingschoolsurvivor #rupture #attachmenttheory--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

Transcript:Nl: Het was een zonnige lentedag op het oude kostschool in Nederland.En: It was a sunny spring day at the old boarding school in Nederland.Nl: De tulpen bloeiden overal rond het schoolgebouw, dat er imposant en geheimzinnig uitzag met zijn met klimop begroeide muren en torenhoge torenspitsen.En: The tulips bloomed everywhere around the school building, which looked imposing and mysterious with its ivy-covered walls and towering spires.Nl: De leerlingen waren druk met de voorbereidingen voor Pasen, een feest vol traditionele Nederlandse versieringen en vrolijke paaseierenjachten.En: The students were busy with preparations for Pasen, a celebration full of traditional Dutch decorations and cheerful Easter egg hunts.Nl: Bram zat in de schoolbibliotheek, zijn neus verdiept in een stoffig, oud boek.En: Bram sat in the school library, his nose buried in a dusty old book.Nl: Hij was gefascineerd door de verhalen over een verborgen kamer ergens in de school.En: He was fascinated by the stories about a hidden room somewhere in the school.Nl: De geruchten gingen al jaren rond, maar niemand had ooit echt bewijs gevonden.En: The rumors had been going around for years, but no one had ever found real evidence.Nl: Bram had echter net iets interessants ontdekt in een oude tekst, die beweerde te weten waar de kamer was.En: However, Bram had just discovered something interesting in an old text, which claimed to know where the room was.Nl: Zijn ogen glinsterden van opwinding.En: His eyes sparkled with excitement.Nl: "Je weet dat de school zegt dat die kamer niet bestaat, toch?"En: "You know the school says that room doesn't exist, right?"Nl: zei Anouk, zijn beste vriendin.En: said Anouk, his best friend.Nl: Ze stond naast hem, haar wenkbrauw opgetrokken in skeptische interesse.En: She stood next to him, her eyebrow raised in skeptical interest.Nl: "En wat als Lotte ons weer in de gaten houdt?En: "And what if Lotte is watching us again?Nl: Ze ziet altijd alles."En: She sees everything."Nl: "Laten we niet wachten," zei Bram vastberaden.En: "Let's not wait," said Bram determinedly.Nl: "Dit is onze kans.En: "This is our chance.Nl: We moeten het gewoon proberen na schooltijd."En: We just have to try after school."Nl: Onderweg naar hun les kwamen ze Lotte tegen, de geheimzinnige prefect die altijd net wat meer leek te weten dan ze vertelde.En: On their way to class, they bumped into Lotte, the mysterious prefect who always seemed to know just a bit more than she let on.Nl: Ze glimlachte subtiel, maar Bram voelde haar ogen in zijn rug priemen toen ze verder liepen.En: She smiled subtly, but Bram felt her eyes bore into his back as they walked on.Nl: Toen de schooldag was afgelopen, wachtten Bram en Anouk tot het donker werd.En: When the school day was over, Bram and Anouk waited until dark.Nl: Met kloppende harten en een oude zaklamp in de hand glipten ze langs de deuren van de docenten.En: With pounding hearts and an old flashlight in hand, they slipped past the teachers' doors.Nl: Ze wisten dat Lotte waarschijnlijk rondliep, maar hun nieuwsgierigheid dreef hen verder de verlaten gangen in.En: They knew Lotte was probably wandering around, but their curiosity drove them further into the deserted halls.Nl: Ze vonden de oude bibliotheek waar Bram het boek had ontdekt.En: They found the old library where Bram had discovered the book.Nl: In een van de boeken zat tot zijn verrassing een geplooide kaart verstopt.En: To his surprise, a folded map was hidden in one of the books.Nl: "Dit is het," fluisterde hij opgewonden.En: "This is it," he whispered excitedly.Nl: De kaart leidde hen naar een geheime deur, verborgen achter een oud schilderij.En: The map led them to a secret door, hidden behind an old painting.Nl: Net toen ze de deur probeerden te openen, verscheen Lotte plotseling uit de schaduwen.En: Just as they tried to open the door, Lotte suddenly appeared from the shadows.Nl: "Ik wist dat jullie hier zouden komen," zei ze, zonder boosheid in haar stem.En: "I knew you would come here," she said, without anger in her voice.Nl: Ze haalde een sleutel uit haar zak.En: She pulled a key from her pocket.Nl: "Ik help jullie, maar alleen onder één voorwaarde: dat je de geheimen van deze kamer niet verklapt."En: "I'll help you, but only on one condition: that you don't reveal the secrets of this room."Nl: Bram en Anouk keken elkaar verbaasd aan, maar knikten instemmend.En: Bram and Anouk looked at each other in amazement but nodded in agreement.Nl: Samen draaiden ze de sleutel om en openden ze de deur.En: Together they turned the key and opened the door.Nl: Binnen vonden ze geen groot geheim of verborgen schat, maar wel een kamer vol oude, sentimentele voorwerpen – zoals oude paasversieringen en foto's van vroegere feesten op school.En: Inside, they found no great secret or hidden treasure, but a room full of old, sentimental items—like old Easter decorations and photos of past celebrations at the school.Nl: "We moeten de herinneringen bewaren," zei Lotte zacht.En: "We must preserve the memories," said Lotte softly.Nl: De kamer was een eerbetoon aan het verleden en de vele generaties leerlingen die voor hen waren gekomen.En: The room was a tribute to the past and the many generations of students who had come before them.Nl: Uiteindelijk besloten Bram en Anouk om het geheim van de kamer te bewaren.En: In the end, Bram and Anouk decided to keep the room's secret.Nl: Ze begrepen dat sommige mysteries beter verborgen blijven, zodat ze hun magie en betekenis niet verliezen.En: They understood that some mysteries are better left hidden, so they don't lose their magic and meaning.Nl: Lotte, nu hun medestander, glimlachte naar hen als nieuwe vrienden.En: Lotte, now their ally, smiled at them as new friends.Nl: Vanaf die dag wandelden Bram en Anouk door de gangen met nieuwe waardering voor hun school en zijn tradities.En: From that day on, Bram and Anouk walked through the halls with a new appreciation for their school and its traditions.Nl: De kamer bleef een prachtig geheim, een bijzondere schat voor degenen die het mochten ontdekken.En: The room remained a beautiful secret, a special treasure for those who were allowed to discover it.

igazgatása erről mit sem tudott.En: Last week, the key to the room disappeared, and the school's administration knew nothing about it.Hu: Levente bosszankodva mesélte el Erzternek, mit is hallott a többiektől, és elhatározta, hogy felderíti az eltűnés körüli rejtélyt.En: Levente recounted with annoyance to Eszter what he had heard from the others and decided to solve the mystery surrounding the

about the school's past.Hu: Barátságos mosollyal keresték fel a könyvtárban.En: They sought her out in the library with a friendly smile.Hu: Ágnes óvatosan hallgatta meg őket, majd így szólt: "A szoba

Seven children died in the first year of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School's operation. Another 220 died over the school's next 38 years. They are among the more than 3,100 students a year-long Washington Post investigation finds died while separated from their families in Indian Boarding Schools. Their tally is three times that of the recent investigation by the U.S. Department of Interior. Many of the deaths are attributed to illness, accidents, or neglect. Others have no official explanation or remain suspicious. We'll discuss the Post's investigation and why having an accurate accounting is important. GUESTS Jim LaBelle (Iñupiaq), board member for the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition Benjamin Jacuk (Dena'ina Athabascan and Sugpiaq), researcher at the Alaska Native Heritage Center Dana Hedgpeth (Haliwa-Saponi), reporter at the Washington Post

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Mystery in the Attic: Unveiling Secrets of a Hungarian School Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-01-10-23-34-01-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A vastag hópelyhek lassan hullottak a bentlakásos iskola ódon épületére, amely a csendes magyar vidéken állt.En: The thick snowflakes slowly fell onto the old building of the boarding school, which stood in the quiet Hungarian countryside.Hu: Az iskolát magas fák vették körül, leveleiket már rég elhagyták a téli szél emiatt kopaszak voltak.En: The school was surrounded by tall trees, whose leaves had long since been stripped by the winter wind, leaving them bare.Hu: A rövid napok alatt Áron, Réka és Zsófia gyakran játszottak az iskola udvarán, titkokat és kalandokat keresve a nagy, régi épület árnyékában.En: During the short days, Áron, Réka, and Zsófia often played in the schoolyard, searching for secrets and adventures in the shadow of the large, old building.Hu: Egy napon Áron, a kíváncsi és álmodozó fiú, megbotlott a lépcső alján egy apró nyílásra.En: One day, Áron, the curious and dreamy boy, stumbled at the bottom of the stairs on a small opening.Hu: Felkapta a fejét és meglátta, hogy egy csapóajtó vezeti az utat a padlásra.En: He looked up and saw that a trapdoor led the way to the attic.Hu: Izgatottan mesélte el barátainak, amit talált.En: Excitedly, he told his friends what he had found.Hu: Réka, a logikus és kételkedő lány, először nem hitt neki.En: Réka, the logical and skeptical girl, did not believe him at first.Hu: „Biztos csak egy régi tároló helyiség,” mondta.En: "It's probably just an old storage room," she said.Hu: De Zsófia, az örök kalandor, azonnal érdeklődni kezdett.En: But Zsófia, the eternal adventurer, immediately became interested.Hu: „Menjünk fel és nézzük meg,” javasolta Zsófia derűlátva.En: “Let's go up and check it out,” suggested Zsófia optimistically.Hu: Áron bólintott, és mindhárman elindultak a titkos ajtó felé.En: Áron nodded, and the three of them set off towards the secret door.Hu: Ám az iskola igazgatója, Mr. Varga, szigorúan megtiltotta a diákoknak, hogy a padlás közelébe menjenek, mert balesetveszélyes.En: However, the school's headmaster, Mr. Varga, had strictly forbidden the students from going near the attic, as it was dangerous.Hu: Áron azonban eltökélte, hogy felfedi a padlás titkait.En: Áron was determined to uncover the attic's secrets.Hu: Így meggyőzte Rékát és Zsófiát, hogy menjenek vele.En: He persuaded Réka and Zsófia to go with him.Hu: Este, amikor a folyosók már elcsendesedtek, halkan felosontak a csapóajtóhoz.En: In the evening, when the corridors had quieted down, they quietly crept up to the trapdoor.Hu: A padlás poros és sötét volt, csak néhány fénysugár szűrődött át az ablakok jeges rétegén.En: The attic was dusty and dark, with only a few beams of light filtering through the icy layers on the windows.Hu: Feltúrták a régi dobozokat, amíg Áron meg nem talált egy régi levelet.En: They rummaged through the old boxes until Áron found an old letter.Hu: A papír sárga volt és ropogós.En: The paper was yellowed and crisp.Hu: A levél egy rejtélyes üzenetet tartalmazott, amely az iskola régi történetére utalt.En: The letter contained a mysterious message that hinted at the school's old history.Hu: Réka meghajolva olvasta a sorokat: „...a titkokat a padló deszkái őrzik.”En: Réka bent over and read the lines: "...the secrets are guarded by the floorboards."Hu: Lelkesedve keresgéltek tovább, míg Zsófia rábukkant egy mozgatható padlódeszkára.En: Eagerly, they continued searching until Zsófia discovered a movable floorboard.Hu: Alatta egy napló rejtőzött.En: Underneath, a journal was hidden.Hu: Régi, de gondosan megőrzött kötet volt tele jegyzetekkel az iskola múltjáról.En: It was an old, but carefully preserved journal, full of notes about the school's past.Hu: Megtudták, hogy az iskola régen egy gróf családé volt, tele mélyen eltemetett titkokkal és elfeledett történetekkel.En: They learned that the school had once belonged to a count's family, filled with deeply buried secrets and forgotten stories.Hu: A titokról nem tudtak hallgatni.En: They couldn't keep quiet about the secret.Hu: Másnap az igazgatót megkeresték, és bemutatták neki a naplót.En: The next day, they approached the headmaster and presented him the journal.Hu: Mr. Varga mélyen elgondolkodott, majd megköszönte a diákoknak, hogy felnyitották a múlt ablakát.En: Mr. Varga thought deeply and then thanked the students for opening a window to the past.Hu: Megengedi nekik, hogy biztonságos körülmények között felfedezzék az iskola elfeledett részeit.En: He allowed them to explore the forgotten parts of the school under safe conditions.Hu: Áron büszke volt.En: Áron was proud.Hu: Többé nem érezte magát kívülállónak.En: He no longer felt like an outsider.Hu: Érezte, hogy sikerült valamit felfedezni, ami még a felnőtteknek is újdonság volt.En: He felt that he had discovered something new, even to the adults.Hu: Így a téli időszak az egyik legizgalmasabb kalandjuk lett, és az iskola már nem csak egy hely volt, ahol éltek - otthonná vált, tele titkokkal, amelyek csak arra vártak, hogy valaki felfedezze őket.En: Thus, the winter period became one of their most exciting

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, hosts discuss the impact of weather-related school cancellations, particularly snow days, on children's education and well-being. They reflect on how traditional snow days have shifted post-COVID, with many schools opting for remote learning instead of allowing kids a break from schoolwork. Dr. Kathy encourages listeners to use these moments of disruption to consider broader questions about the educational system and to explore opportunities for character development throughout a child's schooling from preschool to grade 12. The segment aims to provide encouragement and insight into making the most of unexpected school closures. For more on the Christian boarding high school that incorporates discipleship and mentorship into a classical approach to education that Wayne mentioned in the show, visit www.gohillcrest.com

"A blot on American history" is how President Joe Biden described Indian boarding schools as he formally apologized for them in October. For survivors of these institutions, designed to assimilate Indigenous children, it may be too little, too late. CPR's Elaine Tassy spoke with three people who endured  boarding schools, Beverly Granger, Amanda Kee and Ruby Left Hand Bull Sanchez, about how their lives were forever changed. Then, re-envisioning an unused rail line between Boulder and Erie. And, what a Denver man who visited very county in the U.S. learned about embracing differences. 

The show opens with Adam explaining why people should be required to have a license to travel on planes, why airports need traffic cameras, how Andy Dick singlehandedly caused numerous podcasters to move their show into a studio, the soundtrack at his barbershop, and Bill Maher & Jane Fonda tangling over California's tendency to overregulate. Next, Jason “Mayhem” Miller reads the news including stories about President Biden pardoning his son Hunter and “Jan 6ers” getting nervous about Trump's post-election silence about their pardons, Nick Cannon admitting that he's seeking help for his narcissistic personality disorder, and Mark Zuckerberg dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Then, comedian Des Bishop makes his first visit to ACS to talk about having a testicle removed, getting sent to boarding school in Ireland at 14, the difference between Irish and New York comedy crowds, and learning Mandarin to perform in China.

Chief Red Cloud was a Lakota leader in the late 1800s, when the conflict between the US government and Native Americans was intense, and he was the tribal chief when the Catholic church built a boarding school on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Generations of children were traumatized by their experience at the school, whose mission was to strip them of their language and culture.Red Cloud's descendant Dusty Lee Nelson and other members of the community are seeking reparations from the church. “In my heart, in my soul, I feel like the best thing that they can do is to exit the reservation, return all property, and pay us,” Nelson said.In the second half of Reveal's two-part collaboration with ICT (formerly Indian Country Today), members of the Pine Ridge community put pressure on the Catholic church to share information about the boarding school it ran on the reservation.ICT reporter Mary Annette Pember, a citizen of the Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe, travels to the archives of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions. She discovers that many records are redacted or off-limits, but then comes across a diary written by nuns. Buried in the diary entries is information about the school's finances, the massacre at Wounded Knee, and children who died at the school more than a century ago. This is a rebroadcast of an episode that originally aired in October 2022.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Instagram

In the early 1990s, Justin Pourier was a maintenance man at Red Cloud Indian School, a Catholic school on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. One day, he says he stumbled upon small graves in the school's basement. For nearly 30 years, Pourier would be haunted by what he saw and told no one except his wife. “Those are Native children down there…hopefully their spirit was able to travel on to whatever is beyond this world,” Pourier says. In 2022, he urged school officials to search the basement for the graves.The hunt for unmarked graves of Native children isn't happening just at Red Cloud, now called Maȟpíya Lúta. It's one of more than 400 Indian boarding schools across the country that were part of a program designed by the federal government to “kill the Indian and save the man”—those were the actual words of one of the architects of the plan to destroy Native culture. In a historic first this fall, President Joe Biden apologized to Native Americans on behalf of the United States for the country's past Indian boarding school policies.This week on Reveal, in a two-part collaboration with ICT (formerly Indian Country Today), we expose the painful legacy of boarding schools for Native children with ICT reporter Mary Annette Pember, a citizen of the Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe. She's been writing about these schools for more than two decades. This is a rebroadcast of an episode that originally aired in October 2022.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
