There are two that will stay with me when I think of Frank McGill.

First is the "big brother" role he played with my daughter Scout, currently a Hyde junior. For over a decade, she and her sister Mahalia '09 have played that same role for their younger brother Harrison. The truth is that Harrison's autism has demanded and continues to demand a great deal of Scout's care and attention. All the way through middle school Scout gave so much to her brother but never had someone who could play big brother to her. Frank was that person for Scout during her freshman year.

Are the Gaulds planning on enrolling Harrison at Hyde School?

Back in the day, Joe used to scream at kids with various levels of difficulties and tell them that their illness  was choice, they needed to choose. So why doesn't Grandpa scream at Harrison. Tell him to choose not to be Autistic.  When he is unable to change Grandpa can make Mom and Dad to toss him out on the street.

Of course I am in jest, but I just wish that some day before he dies Joe would realize just how many kids he did that to and get down on his knees and beg God for forgiveness.  Then I want God to appear and tell Joe that Character is Destiny and that he is bound for Hell.

It is easy to see -- in extreme cases like those dealing with kids who have bona fide learning disabilities -- how atavistic and backward the "Hyde School difference" actually is. What kind of an "education" did those kids get, that was functionally any different than what they might have received in the 1930's? Actually... they might have been better off back then.

  That is a good word for it.  I think the construct of Hyde as social system was set up as a structure to rationalize Joe's atavistic tendencies.  Some wag once said that police become police to legitimize thier own antisocial behaviour.  Could you imagine Joe's behaviour in a setting where he had peers?  Ranting and spitting students and backhanding little girls?
