Oh it was there when you were there...It's where Mr. Bertschy's office was in the foyer in between the academic wing and the mansion. Dean's area is where you go to get the sentence and punishment when you break an ethic.

Yeah, but dubinsky was at Woodstock after Bath, however he was transfered out of this position. Of course we will never know why, but it was obvious to most. I don't remember any other staff having the reputation he did.

But it still would have been Mr. Bertschy's office.
He was still there then. :smokin:

I was a Hyde student and intern. Hyde saved my life. Yes, I did my share of time on 2-4, and AM-PM, and the like....and it helped me.....profoundly.
It helped me learn that whatever I thought on the surface was about as deep as mud. It was the first time in my life someone demanded I take it to a deeper level and look within. That was not going to happen if they did not first exhaust my body and boundless defiant energy.
FWIW, this is extremely similar to what happens in basic training in the military, and there, just as at Hyde, there are some people who don't or won't get it....and stay angry for the rest of their lives.
Of course, I would wager that more than 75% of Hyde students were never on 2-4, and probably had minimal entre into AM-PM, so we are talking a subset of a subset here.
To this day, I use the lessons I learned at Hyde, and if you didn't learn them, you couldn't have been paying attention.
I am sure at various periods in its history people abused their authority. So what? That happens EVERYWHERE. Public schools, private schools, you name it.
I am also sure that Hyde had bad programs at times in its development. Hyde was, invariably, experimental at its start and hopefully still is, as education, like surgery, starts with theory and soft science and evolves.
FWIW, most of what is being stated here sounds like a bunch of whiny kids looking to blame someone for their lives.
Thirty years later Tommy, and this is where you are at? Trying to stir up a pot of shit to make you feel better about your life? To blame someone else?
Want to see what truly abusive schools do? Read the seeds forum.
I don't think Joe or Malcolm or any Gauld is God. I also think there has been way too much Gauld in the school, but unlike the abusive schools that really were "fix it" schools, promising parents an end-result, Hyde was light-years beyond that.
It may as well have pioneered extending family systems therapy to the high-school setting and requiring parents to be part of the process, and if need be, to change.
My recommendation is to take to heart the notion that every day you have the chance to start your life over. Why not choose today? Real abuse, sure, hold onto it as long as it serves you, but this stuff....well, I feel a cross between empathy and pity for you.

Regarding the fundraising...it's obvisous that nobody is getting rich there...the money is actually needed for stuff like electricity, food and good teachers...they could just raise the tuition $2500 per kid, but instead they use the family weekend money pitch as a community builder...again..if you don't buy into the program..you don't get why you're being asked for money.

Whoever wrote the above doesn't have a clue. I challenge you to do a Dunn and Bradstreet on Hyde and you will be very surprised how well off Hyde and the Gauld's are. They don't need fundraising for school supplies, they need it for their own pockets.
