The letter about Laura taking the job in Woodstock was written by Malcolm...who said HE would be coming down every weekend.

My concern is not about Laura and the percentage of her time she will spend in Woodstock, Bath, or anywhere else. I trust her judgment on this. Rather, my overwhelming concern is that Hyde is such an amazingly flawed school with so many problems that they are hard to list completely. Making this one change at the top of the Woodstock campus cannot possibly fix the pervasive problems at that school. I feel very discouraged.

I think you are very wrong. The change you will see in Woodstock will be the transformation from Hyde Light to a true character culture, where Hyde works the best. A perfect example is the elimination of non-character faculty like Tom Lord. It was a gutsy move on LG's part, but it's the first step towards making Hyde Woodstock..."Hyde"..

I wish you were right, but I'm not at all optimistic. How will Laura Gauld fix all the problems related to the huge percentage of kids that Hyde admits with serious mental health/substance abuse problems when they don't have the right model in place to help these kids (And to argue that Hyde's narrow application of "character education" is what will help these kids is beyond arrogant.); the remarkable number of young, inexperienced faculty, many of whom are struggling with their own issues and are the last people who should be the principal advisors and role models for all these seriously struggling teens; the below mediocre quality of classroom instruction and academic rigor in many classes; the "in your face" treatment of many parents and students; the pervasive arrogance that leaks all over Hyde; the large drop-out rate; the toxic Joe Gauld influence? Do you really think Laura Gauld can fix all that?
