Sure, it could be evidence of a cult. But there are equally viable alternative interpretations
No, not equally viable. Not even close. Read up on LGAT and and cults. It fits absolutely perfectly.
I conceded that this language could be used by a cult. I also proposed that the same language might also be used by someone that was actually right, hence, an equally viable interpretation. Why is that so hard to grok?
BTW, there are other, far more likely reason why someone w/ extreme fidelity to the program might want to know the identities of critics. What do you suppose these people disclosed in those seminars, hm? Bet some of it was some good dirt, huh!
This is a fair point. I actually don't expect anyone to reveal their true identities here. But why is it hard to understand that if someone makes accusations about Hyde and doesn't reveal their identity, that their true bias is indeterminate and all their comments suspect (the same way mine presumably are)?
Thank you Ginger! This "Hydette" is so programmed!! This person continues to try and control minds rather than admitting there are terrible flaws in this program!
On some level, I can agree I seek a control of sorts, but only through the marketplace of ideas, where the best reasoning and logic (or best marketer) prevails.
But yes, thank you Ginger. Am I correct in that you didn't go to Hyde and have no contact with Hyde other than posting on this website? And posting a lot more on schools you have decided were abusive? If so, do you see yourself as some freedom fighter? The brainwashing was so strong at this school (that was on 60 Minutes twice, Baraba Walters, Newsweek etc.) that you need to jump in an help save these poor souls who can't speak up for themselves? Sounds like you may have less of a life than I do!
Why did one headmaster or asst headmaster resign because of plagerism?
Um, well, I got the same letter you probably did. The school handled this openly and courageously. Most institutions would probably have hidden this the best they could. Instead, Hyde hung its dirty laundry out for all to see, and took decisive action. That looks to me like a principled system that walks the walk.
Why did another headmaster get transfered after being involved in a scandal involving a lawsuit where a good friend/staff member of his was accused of fondling a student?
I have no clue about this, but if the transfer related to their handling of something that happens sooner or later in every high school in America, it sounds again like they took appropriate corrective action, not just against the teacher, but his/her supervisor as well. What did you want, have them to commit hari kari? Self-immolate?
Why did another top administrator recently think about leaving?
I don't really know. Why does anyone ever think about leaving a job?
Why do at least 50% of Teachers leave each year?
Please site your source? And every year since when? Anyway, personally, I am concerned with teacher turnover, but I don't have numbers. If true, it could be for a lot of reasons though. Underpaid, overworked, and they too don't get it. There are other possibilities as well. Maybe they agree with you and want to post about it here. I did see an invitation to that effect in another stream but no responsive posts last I saw. My question to you though is, do you know for a fact the reasons teachers leave?
Why would a teacher be required to put their own kids at the school or be told, "you aren't committed to the program?" Cult, Cult, Cult!!
If they are told this, they shouldn't be. Not sure that makes them a cult.
I could go on and on with the questions, but Hyde's fans will continue to defend.
Your questions are short on facts, and are far from compelling. I will certainly go after the low hanging fruit to make place accusations in context or add additional facts or information I am aware of.
I am a proud Hydette. Hyde saved my life and many years after I went there is still have profoundly positive repurcussions in my family.
