--- Quote from: ""Emil Ghostwriter"" ---I think a lot gets made out of that process being a vote. The thing you have to ask your self: how hard is that to fix? How hard do you think it was for Joe and Ed to dial the number of graduates? A few special talks. A straw list. These guys are/were masters with adults. They were manipulating brain washed kids.

The vote was rigged in two ways I noticed at the time of voting. First, Joe or Ed commented on each kid. I can't remember anymore whether these comments preceded or followed the vote. In the former case, it would have vitiated the vote. In the latter case, there may have been other cues to vote one way or the other. Second, it was a public vote; a secret ballot would have made it harder for us to base our vote on how others and in particular the leadership were voting. In short, a dictatorial vote, with a bogus appearance of democracy.
Courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity, and concern!

To elaborate on the second point, there was common knowledge. That is, I know that Joe votes against Sally. Joe knows that I know that Joe votes against Sally. I know that Joe knows that I know that Joe knows that Joe votes against Sally. Joe knows that I know that, and so on ad infinitum. Joe votes on me next. I better vote against Sally too.

Common knowledge and a credible threat of punishment for deviation. Conformity guaranteed. The same setup was applied to all aspects of Hyde life.
Courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity, concern!

You guys are talking in small numbers about Hyde not graduating us. This is from long ago. Now the numbers are very large.
Hyde now gets rid of lots of kids during the school year for many bogus reasons. Parents not participating, kids not bowing down, yada yada. Then of course towards the end of the year Hyde goes over in their minds how many of the sucker parents would pay another $40,000 to get their kid a diploma. They make up the usual, "joe blow has not lived up to the character part of the program." They have ruined many a family and many a kid by this.
Hyde's leaders can pull the wool over our parents for the rest of their lives, but I take great enjoyment out of knowing that the majority of Hydes leaders are nothing but loosers themselves. Doesn't matter how many years they are there, they are still talkin bout the same shit that happened in their lives 30 years ago. LOOSERS!!!

Hey, I suppose you think I'm a loser (note the spelling) for talking about what happened to me thirty years ago. Well, until I discovered this site a few months ago and got started on the topic of Hyde I was living in the present tense, and I still am. I've got a respectable life to show for it too. But talking about Hyde has been educational. It's larger than Hyde: I would even elevate Hyde to a metaphor of life.
