Author Topic: Hyde School Woodstock Headmaster Leaving??? (Read 14407 times)

The headmaster after Ed Legg wasn't a Gauld, either. Joe hadn't come back into power, yet.

Part of the reason the Gauld's hold power so closely has to do with the time when they lost it in the early 80's. Joe, having left the school under pressure, fought his way back into the school. Then, he pulled his children and their families, who had also left the faculty and started lives elsewhere, back into the school. After giving up power during the era of Ed Legg and those who followed him, the Gaulds are not apt to let it go again. When Paul Hurd was dethroned, Malcolm's letter to the community said they were going to conduct a thorough national search, but, no surprise, Laurie Gauld, Malcolm's sister/Paul's wife/ Joe's daughter, was appointed.

Please forgive me for asking a stupid question, but how can a good boarding school have a traveling Headmaster who is only there on the weekends. This seems a bit crazy and unprofessional.

And there was Williams after the BOG thru Ed and Joe out.
Funny, I randomly picked up a Boston Globe one day, there was the add that found Williams. I ran into Mal and Laura randomly in Massachusetts a couple of times during that period. I always wondered if it is: http://skepdic.com/jung.html. I like "I heart huckabee's" take on it. Everything is random and meaningless, everything is connected. Both true at the same time.
The power struggle with Legg must have left a mark on Joe. I would guess that is why he is keeping the power close to the blood lines.

Was Paul dethrowned?

I am very sympathetic to this, but don't you think they should choose a Headmaster who is capable of living on location?

She is living on location. Her son is visiting. Many employeers give special considerations to family needs.

From Malcolm's letter on the previous page:

Quote

In 1998, Laura established The Biggest Job program, a parenting workshop that evolved into the book The Biggest Job We'll Ever Have (Scribner, 2002). In recent years, Laura has consulted with schools, businesses, organizations, and communities, reaching thousands of parents with the Hyde message of family-based character education. Her efforts to affect the parenting culture in this country have been recognized through such honors as Maine's Mother of the Year Award (1998) and the 2005 Maine Media Women President's Award.

How is that possible? Your oldest kid needs to be at least 18 for that award.

Perhaps Laura Gauld received the YOUNG Mother of the Year Award, which is clearly not the same thing, but...
