1 /5 AUSTIN EIR: The Aguilar family, when they ran the Christian Tabernacle church, ran an unaccredited Christian "school". Many students like me studied there as kids and teens only to find out too late it wasnt recognized by the state of California.
It was a poor quality education too. Kids sat in cubicles alone, doing packets which they graded themselves.
I was told I was lucky to go there because I could be top of the class and get recognized by universities.
Instead, I had to go get my GED because it was as if I hadnt gone to school at all. I was years behind my peers and really struggled for years to catch up.
Worst of all, parents had to pay for this "education". The Aguilar family somehow always had money to make fancy music videos, but they never gave us actual teachers.
Jason was the basketball coach and was dating one of the students, which I thought was inappropriate. I remember her name started with a Y, and she was a teen around my age. When I asked her about it, she said they were in love and going to get married so it was okay, but ... that clearly didnt happen.
I lost all respect for this place and the leaders that allowed this educational abuse to happen.
