Hyde School Chat Room
Anonymous:
Does anyone on this board know how to start a chat room?? If not a chat room, maybe another bulletin board? The more places we can post, the more people we can reach out to in order to help.

I personally don't know how to start a chat room - but I do know a parent - extremely skilled on the computer... - who must know how to do this -
Will keep this site updated as I find information to help spread the word...
Check out the sites with the new financial info - the Gaulds et al are rolling in cash/dough that we too easily turn over to them and their clones....
They are all laughing - probably saying "ditto" when asked if they are thrilled with their financial take on the backsides of many troubled and not serviced children.
God will decide............and the Gaulds can choose to give back or wait for another's decisions on their falseness and greed and BLATANT hypocriscy - "Truth over Harmony" invades only the seminars, etc. - it appears not to touch the "Gauld Empire" and their wayward cronies...

Hate to say it, but I think you're off base about the whole money thing. I'm sure the Gauld clan isn't hurting financially, but they're not doing the Hyde school thing for the dough; they're true believers. I've been as critical of Hyde as anyone on this board, but I don't believe for a second that the whole thing is a scam to make money. I went there. Whatever one might say about these folks running the place (and I've said plenty), they do it because they believe in what they do. There have been many legitimate issues raised on this board, but the notion that this whole business is some sort of financial scam doesn't pass the sniff test.

Lars, do you still believe they aren't in it for the money after reading the post below? This does not include all the land they own, money made on books, speaking engagements, etc! Where are those expenses coming out of? Our tuition maybe? Yes, I do think the Gauld clan does believe in what they are doing, but I think this proves they are making a fortune doing it. I am sure the evangelists on TV believe in what they are doing too!
This is exact information taken from the 2003 "990" Form of the US Tax Return for Hyde Schools. You can see the full Form in it's entirety by going to http://www.guidestar.org. Anyone can sign up to view the 990's without any charge. Type in Hyde School Woodstock and Hyde School Bath. You can also look at Hyde School DC, which I did not post. Also not posted is the total income from other sources!
Do the math! The "Families" are making a fortune! I take back everything I have thought of the Gauld Families. They are very bright and we are the suckers!!
The truth will set you free Malcolm, Joe, and the rest of you! BTW, your eyes are not deceiving you and there are no typographical errors.

As I understand it, schools need reserves to ensure their survival. That is how schools that want to survive (and grow and thrive) are run responsibly.
Hyde's assets (cash, endowments, land, capital improvements, value as a going concern, other assets) are no doubt some multiple of their annual revenues -- but regardless of whether these assets are part of the alleged fortune, all the numbers you have provided really reveal is that Hyde has responsibly planned for a future of predictable economic downturns and managed growth.
The question as I see it is, what is the revenue curve for a school the size of Hyde and where does Hyde falls on that curve? (And otherwise, how does this money ever get into the pockets of the "families".)
Without this information, I don't think I can fairly draw any conclusions.
