The St. Petersburg Times reported in “Scientology makes it in classroom door” a great success of L. Ron Hubbard’s study technology being introduced in Baton Rouge, LA.

As part of their curriculum, all the eighth-graders at Prescott Middle School are being taught learning techniques Hubbard devised four decades ago when he set out to remedy what he viewed as barriers to learning.  Prescott Middle School is predominantly black.

The curriculum and textbooks used by Prescott’s 156 eighth-graders are similar to methods and books used among Scientologists worldwide. And teaching the children is a Scientologist hired by the school district. 

Scientologists helped introduce L. Ron Hubbard’s study program into the school following the activities the Church did when Scientology Volunteer Ministers were helping in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. 

Celebrity Scientologists John Travolta and Isaac Hayes played key roles.  Both John Travolta and Isaac Hayes have a history helping children in the area of education, including introducing L. Ron Hubbard’s precise and incredible study technology.

The people who run the program say Hubbard’s teaching technique is divorced from Scientology, that it is just a masterful way to learn. They note that it has won the support of many non-Scientologists, including a number of academics.

After a year of monitoring the program, Prescott’s principal found that Hubbard’s technology has changed the school’s long-dreadful scores in which have turned around.

The article further goes into the three specific barriers to study and the exact manifestations each of these cause on students.

The article also touches upon the history of L. Ron Hubbard’s creation of the study technology. 

In 1972, Scientologists founded the nonprofit Applied Scholastics to advance Hubbard’s “study technology” outside Scientology.

The program in Prescott Middle was introduced by Mayor Kip Holden, who had met with John Travolta, Kelly Preston and also Isaac Hayes concerning Hubbard’s study technology.

With below level scores now finally rising to normal, other local institutions are now getting interested in L. Ron Hubbard’s study technology.
