Out of curiousity, and you may have discussed it already I'm just to lazy to check, but in what other ways does the hyde school monitor communications?

This may be an incomplete answer, but here goes. Phone communications are effectively not private. Cell phones are not allowed (for students). Pay phones that one can use for communicating with the outside world are all located in hallways and/or very public places. The pay phones are the ones your parents would call you up on, if they wanted to talk with you. I don't know what the restrictions are regarding phone communication if you are "in trouble" there, but I imagine there would be some.
The chances of you being in such a spot with no one around or in within earshot are virtually nil, since students' time is pretty highly organized. You are always around someone else at any given time of day. An exception might be if you chose to go on a 5 mile run alone in the woods or along the streets at 5 or 6 AM. Maybe on a weekend you could go into town alone. But if you were "in trouble" those off-campus privileges would be denied you.

I think one of the more egregious areas of abuse that Hyde is guilty of is in the arena of sexual predation of the student body. I imagine some parents might think something along the lines of, "What's the harm of a little brainwashing, if it gets my kid back on track?" Certainly I have read words to that effect elsewhere, when it comes to parents rationalizing sending their kid away some where. Said parents and I might differ as to the consequences of a "little brainwashing," but I doubt very much that we would disagree on the potentially lifelong effects of a student being raped, seduced, or sexually assaulted by a faculty member.

Hmmm. Where to start? It might be easiest to just start with a case that has received a lot of coverage this year, that would be the Larry Dubinsky case. This thread in the Hyde forum has discussed this at some length, along with a number of other cases:Scary Larry back on campus!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://wwf.fornits.com/viewtopic.php?t=15689[/list]Briefly, Larry Dubinsky was a student during the mid/late 1970s, apparently a seemingly successful one, as he was a member of the Senior Leadership during his final year. He married another Hyde student, Donna Leonard, who was a few years younger. The Dubinskys came back to teach at Hyde, specifically the Woodstock campus. This was sometime in the mid or late 1990s; I'm not sure as to the specific year. Larry liked to express his love for the girls in rather... physical ways... There were complaints. Hyde did nothing. Eventually, a parent sued Hyde for the sexual assault of their daughter. This latest development was relatively recent, I'm thinking maybe 5 years ago. Here are links to some pages from the lawsuit, filed on the ISACCorp website:http://www.isaccorp.org/hyde/hydelawsuit01.jpg
