This is an easy one! Larry Dubinsky. Total pervert who the administrators protected until a parent finally sued. He should have been arrested, but instead the school told us girls, "you need to confront him and tell him how he makes you feel." oh yeah girls, let's tell Dubinsky that feeling us up to get his rocks off at practice makes us feel uncomfortable. I am sure he would have stopped if we let him know.......NOT!"

I am sorry to hear that. There is a natural tendency for institutions to circle the wagons in a case like this, to protect the mission. Catholicism and it adherents were the keepers of the knowledge of the golden age through the dark ages in europe. As a non catholic christian and former catholic, I acknowledge the role the Church had in preserving and spreading the Word of Christ. The church has existed for close to two millenia. The recent sex abuse charges against catholic clergy speak to failures both institutional and human but not to failure of the mission of the church to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I would submit that if the assurtions you have made are true, the same is true of hyde. Hyde mission is not to molest pubesent girls any more then the Catholic Church's mission is to sodomize little boys. It is a human failure on the part of an individual and the people surronding that individual not a flaw in the fundemental mission.
How did you pick up the on the Time article if you went to woodstock? I was at that meeting in 76 and forgot all about it. I am tring to remember which andrew .... Mann Swartz? It is really funny (my apologies if Jim is reading this) being confronted by Jim was like encountering a toy poodle as a watch dog. He was really a sweet guy. His wife was a very nice and caring person too. I think her name was Joanna.
The guy that was scary was Paul Hurd. I had a chest Xray recently and the doctor asked how I got the indentations on my chest bone. Just kidding.

There is a website called Greatschools.net. Three people posted positive reviews about Hyde. If you have anything to say about Hyde either positive or negative, this is a good way to spread the word. http://www.greatschools.net

I agree that Hyde's mission is not to molest, but the key question is, do you get rid of the molester and keep all the people who covered it up, or do you also get rid of the administrators who believed this was an acceptable way to run a place? If I am not mistaken the Catholic Church got rid of the head of the Church in Boston for the cover-ups, not strictly the molestors.
You wanted more names. I can add to the other ones. Ken Grant who physically attacked at least one girl that I know of, Don McMillan who has attacked at least one kid, and of course the in house pervert Dubinsky who loved to give back rubs to us in sports. Of course the other names were already brought up like the Prophet Joe Gauld. Never did hear of his son Malcolm going at it physically with anyone, so guess that is a plus.
Hey, that's enough for me not to ever recommend Hyde to anyone. The message might be good, but the messengers are one scary group."

What were the incidents involving Ken Grant and Don McMillan? What did they do?

"This week we received a telephone call from parents who are trying to find an appropriate boarding school for their child. The mom explained to us that she "Googled" Hyde and found this website. She said that she and her husband had heard some very negative things about Hyde, but that finding this website and reading many of the postings REALLY scared them. They said they can't imagine sending their child to a school like Hyde, in light of all of the negative reports here. She said the positive comments were overshadowed by the many thoughtful criticisms. She also said their educational consultant doesn't recommend Hyde any longer.
Anyway, they're looking for suggestions. What other schools have people had good experiences with (their child is beginning to hang with the wrong crowd, is showing some signs of defiance, but isn't out of control)?
Thanks for your help."

My advice about helping parents find a good boarding school for their child: First, find other parents whose kids have struggled with similar issues and are in boarding schools. Second, find the names of educational consultants they've used and that they've had good experiences with. Third, contact these educational consultants, explain your situation. Fourth, ask the following key question: What do you think of the Hyde School. If the educational consultant says it's a school worth considering, look for another educational consultant. If the educational consultant expresses reservations about Hyde and says it's probably a good idea to look at alternatives to Hyde, continue talking. That's a very good sign. Any educational consultant who refers to Hyde either doesn't really know what goes on there or thinks like the Hyde cult. That's a very bad sign."

This is very good advice. I agree with it completely. There are some educational consultants who refer kids to Hyde, but I bet they know very little about all the negative stuff that really happens to many of the kids at Hyde (not to mention their parents). If an educational consultant thinks Hyde is a good place, find out how much time they've really spent there and what they really know about what goes on behind closed doors (the confrontations with kids and parents, the mediocre education, the mind games). Hyde looks pretty good from the outside; from the inside it smells bad to lots of us who have been there. I'm willing to bet that many educational consultants have fallen for the slick Hyde public relations stuff. The most professional educational consultants who take the time to learn the inside scoop are likely to stay away from Hyde.
