It wasn't that big of a deal, but one of the Gauld family wrote an article and did not devulge that part of it was someone else's work.  He went off for a year or two but I believe he is back.  The members of this Cult always come back!  In order to be in this family you must be committed to the "Hyde process."

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---A colleague recently told me about a fascinating article on the Hyde School. It's from a journal called Education Next (it's published by Stanford University's Hoover Institution). Anyone considering sending their child to Hyde should read this article carefully -- it's very thorough and professional. The author says Hyde almost feels like a cult and has an incredibly high drop-out rate -- I find that scary. Here's the article: http://www.educationnext.org/20051/22.html

This is a fascinating article, but suprisingly dismissive of the coercion implemented and the lack of genuine youth empowerment which can't come from such a top down structure such as this.... I'm suprised the author mentions what appears to be in passing the drop out rate and cult like atmosphere. Further, I'm absolutely astonished that no acknowledgment is made on the fact that this man, the cult leader, if you will, is basically a Joe Shmoe who has no qualifiction in dealing with youth with serious emotional difficulties, but rather runs a facility which side-steps the appropriate regulatory bodies to create what appears to be the 'perfect' bubble of a universe of prostheletizers.
 
While I appreciate Bloom's concerns in his 'closing of the american mind', this facilities reliance on coercion over free, riguorous thinking is rather disconcerting.  :o
