--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; for how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another. Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand up together.
Isaiah 48 one 'em verses in the one of the mistranslations

The literal translation from Hebrew is: "I am He, I am Tough Love."

I though it was
"I am that I am tough loving you"

I do believe "Tough Love" was a cliche' originally coined by the so called drug warriors to rationalize any number of their moves... Many of the so called drug warriors did business in the "Troubled Teen" industry in earlier incarnations of their careers. A cloak of seemingly different colors but actually same philosophy, same target: errant uncontrollables, dangerously ready to upset the apple cart of the status quo...

No, no. Forty years in the desert. The original "wilderness program."

And the Tom McCaffery canoe trip was just a reprise of the great flood.
Ursus:
--- Quote from: ""Oz girl"" ---This poster mentions she was 15 upon entering hyde and there for 5 years. If hyde is a high school why would it keep a 20 yr old young adult. Wouldnt this not stunt the young persons emotional development somewhat.
Arent most American kids in their second year of Uni by this age?

I do wish blove82 would answer this?
I am guessing that perhaps the obligatory summer session is counted towards the 5th year and that, in fact, it was only 4 academic years in addition to that?
Hyde is infamous for "strongly recommending that a student return for a Senior Leadership year," the spoken or unspoken corollary being that said student will not receive a diploma otherwise, but a lowly and most ordinary "certificate."
This issue has been frequently discussed off-topic in the threads. Here is a link to a recent such discussion: http://wwf.fornits.com/viewtopic.php?t=15689&start=437
That said, I do remember a guy during my time who was 20 or 21 due to his "delayed character growth." Always felt bad for him. That place did nothing to help him believe in his best...

I was dodging oil tankers in the fog on penobscot bay in the summer of 75. What I heard from the Tom Terrific trip was the watch group camped on the flood plain below a large water impoundment. A whistle blew. Some how in his vast training as a wilderness guide while attending Brown he skipped class the day the subject of water release from damns was discussed. The group had to break camp in a hurry to avoid the rising water. I understand there are no more dory trips. Too bad. That is one of the thing I liked about hyde.
