--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Mike and Emil, would you be willing to talk to a major network about your experiences at Hyde? I have a Producer who is interested but needs former students and parents to interview. I understand if you are not comfortable with this, but just thought I would give it a shot.

I'm not sure if you've read any of my posts, but I'm both a former parent and a journalist who has written about his experiences at Hyde. My report, THE JEKYLL SIDE OF HYDE is on the ISAC site.
I can e-mail it to you if you'd prefer.

I serve of a couple of public boards, the board of a local non-profit and I do professional work related to national defense. I don't think having my name associated with Hyde would really do me much good professional. Sorry that is selfish I know. If you have questions that I could answer anonymously I will consider being interviewed. I have made the mistake of telling people that I went to Hyde and it has already cost me. I am not willing to tell the world, unless I hit the lottery this week, If I do I will do a full face interview live without edits.. :-)

Emil, I am a former Hyde parent and I don't think you are selfish at all. I completely understand why you need to stay under the radar. I feel the same way. Not only is it bad for us professionally, but I feel completely ashamed to be associated with this school and would not want to come forward publicly. It would be like publicly admitting you have been in AA or being associated with Jim Jones or another Cult.

Hyde knows the position we all are in and this is where they have the upper hand. You are forced to pour your heart and soul out when trying to help your kids, but when you realize you don't want any part of this cult it is too late. Too much personal information has been divulged at this point and you are screwed. I am sure this is why most parents who hate Hyde School keep silent and try to forget they were ever associated with the place.

I dont believe Hyde School is successful in Character Development, but they are successful in making TONS of money off of parents who have been sucked in.

I hear you. Things are moving ahead on this piece. Will get back to you. Would appreciate your thoughts- will provide anonymity. Now looking to pick up as much of Joe Gauld's writings as possible, including those out of print. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. There is something on one of the Fornits' sites that claims Joe made racially biased comments, and maybe even wrote things that would indicate he held strong racial views. If this is true and anyone knows where this stuff- and anything that shows Joe and the school in a positive light- is to be had, let me know.
