Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Hyde Schools
History question
Anne Bonney:
That seems to be a common thread running through all of these places. The basic model for this came from Synanon (although I'm not sure that any direct link can be traced the whole model of treatment is a chapter right out of Chuck Dederich's grand plan. Cult all have the same basic characteristics. See if any of this is familiar...

I'm a former student from the early 1970s. I obviously wasn't there at the time, but from what I heard from students who were, Ed engineered Joe's departure in a sort of coup d'état. This quickly backfired and the whole place imploded with a professional headmaster brought in and the Hyde philosophy jettisoned.
My personal view was always that Joe was absolutely crackers with an enormous ego, but sincere. Ed Legg was highly intelligent, but power hungry, arrogant and insincere.
Subsequently, I worked in Hong Kong in early 1985 with a recent college graduate from Bowdoin, small world, who's mother was brought in by the Board in the early 1980s to help evaluate Hyde School. Her surname was Ring and I believe she was a professor of education at Bowdoin. In any event, as I recall from several conversations with her daughter this individual spent a great deal of time interviewing Joe and Ed. She and the board concluded that Hyde was enormously destructive and if it wasn't shut down then Joe had to to go. She viewed him as unstable and thought the Hyde environment was extremely unhealthy for children of any description.

I would have to agree with that accessment. Joe and Ed were like reverse image harliquins of each other. I personally like Joe, but I knew how to tip toe around him. Some of the people that did not got slammed pretty hard and hate him.. I can not blame them for that. Ed was/(is) an asshole in my book. I had a very bad experiance with his duplicity. He was a user par excelance.
Please flame me for my spelling. It is 7:00am CST( c as in china) and i just ran 6 miles. too lazy to spell check.

I was just in SIngapore for twelve days, before that twelve in Taiwan.
I am back in the states now. I miss asia already. I bought a coffee at O'hare. Jesus Christmas tree! Nasty attitude with your coffee. I liked the Mayla girl at the Starbucks in Suntek City. She remebered how I drank my coffee, called me "Sir" and smiled. At that and no tip jar. They are working 2x the hours that americans work for half the pay AND have a better attitude about it. SE asia is going to kick our lazy american asses. They are already. I was there moving a manufacturing set up from the US.

So button-down shirts are the real core issue of Hyde's problem, I guess.

What about ties... are they part of the problem too?
