:D Aye. And before 1974, when Vorrath and Brendtro's book Positive Peer Culture was first published, it was called Guided Group Interaction.

:rofl: :rofl:
--- Quote ---The chances of one actually "learning" some character at Hyde are pretty minuscule compared to the more assured likelihood of succumbing to their mind-numbing mantra of conformity to some hollow ideals. ...Not to mention the other forms of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse that seem to occur there on an alarmingly frequent basis!

Ya had me until you ran off on this unfounded tangent. Citation please for 10/2010.
--- Quote ---But here's something Hyde School really does teach quite well: how to bully one's peers to get kids' behavior in line with parental or administrative expectations.

From the above article by Kelley Bouchard, "Expelled kids face uncertain road back":
A legislative panel is reviewing state laws and school district policies on expulsions to determine how they affect graduation rates. The panel is an outgrowth of 2010 legislation, sponsored by state Sen. Justin Alfond, D-Portland, that set a goal of increasing Maine's high school graduation rate from 80 percent to 90 percent by 2016.
The panel, which includes educational, legal and social service experts, is expected to issue a report in November on various expulsion practices across the state and recommend new laws to propose when the Legislature convenes in January.
"Right now, the laws reflect a zero-tolerance attitude. You're gone, and no district has to accept you," said Alfond, a panel member. "I think we need fair and firm rules, but those rules need to keep kids in school."
Alfond said he expects the panel to recommend clearly defined rules for expulsions and suspensions, which also are under review. The new rules likely will require a re-entry plan for each expelled student that includes keeping up with school work, possibly through online classes that would minimize costs for school districts.[/list][/size]

There it is again. Why does common sense have to be forfeited? I really don't understand it.
