An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Can you really make money, handing out advice like this?  Please let me help.  I have two kids in college and need cash.  Please help. BTW I have asked my kids to help with the bills by working.

Alfie never did get it, did he? .............................

Probably Hyde will never get it either.

   Alfie was a player, unabashed, unrepentant.  Hyde?

    Hyde is about Hyde first and foremost.

I am fascinated by the blogs and rarely post anywhere.   but, I have an interest in the answers and the jury out.  Did NOT see of this info before placing kid there, but again JURY out and all of you folk seem a tad old and actually my age to be dealing with what is going on now.   Despite my reservations about posting herein, I think you all miss what is going on.  has ANYONE looked at "revolutionary" or "debunked" (depends on what you read) psychic named Cayce from virginia beach (do the wikipedia or google), who might have been influential enough (despite his critics) to influence the old man, Gauld?   I think that there is something to this.  If so, the conservatives you claim (donner and walmart) who support him now would cringe and crap if they saw his views side by side with the liberal, psychic and father of new age stuff.   so if the aim is to cut off funding, make the connection to something the conservatives cannot sanction--something not Christian in its truest sense.  Cayce taught that all souls have a purpose in life (sound eerily familiar?).  Was a "seer" folks, a psychic.  He describes phenomenon like Gauld does in his speech to all new parents about the new years' eve party wherein he changes his life, forever.  So, what if this guy is a nutcase follower of Cayce who has blinded the right wing to his liberal agenda? What if the education is only secondary (and apparently successful) foray into his new age, past lives agenda???  anyone for a legitimate CURRENT discussion of what is going on there NOW?

  I am not a professional educator.

  I believe that you will find the basis for some of Gauld's watery base secular-character-humanism in John Dewey.

  "He viewed the mind and its formation as a communal process. Thus the individual is only a meaningful concept when regarded as an inextricable part of his or her society, and the society has no meaning apart from its realization in the lives of its individual members."

Hyde mom,

  I agree. Nothing funny about it. It is pure blame the victim right out of the Catholic Church play book.  The chickens will come home to roost some day, they always do. Hyde will toss a parent out on their ear over simple disagreements but will embrace a sycophant guilty of moral and criminal transgressions.   It makes all the character BS exactly that.  BS.  They talk the talk but can't walk the walk.

The difference between the Catholic Church and Hyde is that the Catholic Church has humbled themselves and are making sure this doesn't happen again. Hyde stood behind LD and when they finally made a statement it was, "LD will be taking a little time off to look at his life."
 There was no doubt that the "concern" was about LD, not the victim.

   It is part of the Hyde ethos.  You are responsible for your experience at Hyde.  If Hyde does not work for you it is because you did not commit to the process.  So if you are sexually harassed at Hyde it is because you allowed it to happen.

But what happened to the adults in that situation?  The perp, his wife?.

 Don't know.

Hawley pal:  Phil

Don't remember a lot more details--old age + tried not to let it all sink into my brain at the time . . . LA LA LA  my authority figures are FREAKS!!  LA LA LA   secrets are Ok for some but not others LA LA LA haven't had sex yet, but know WAY too much about adult complications LA LA LA

  Sumner and the love that dares not speak its name!  It is that deep spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect. It dictates and pervades great works of art, like those of Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Sumner's  lectures.

No one ever seems to remember that one,

  Actually,  a woman from the time Mr bear and I were at hyde told me the story.  She was an eye witness.  Joe was sent to Hawaii to unwind.  I did not witness Joe slapping the girl in the lunch line for the offense of "having no personality" but I was in the student union when it happened.  A buzz went thought the building.  "Joe just ... !"  That man was strung tighter than the drone string on Bela Fleck's banjo.  It is a wonder he hasn't completely lost control of his temper and done something horrific.  When ever I was near him I sensed that he was teetering on the edge of some emotional cataclysm, like a volcano about to erupt.

Oddly enough, this is where Joe went after the incident during my time. Hawaii must be some sort of 'safe haven'. I would actually venture a guess about extradition laws, but it being a full fledged state in the Union probably renders that theory null and void.

For clarification, I think I should point out that I personally did not actually 'witness' the act in and of itself. Two other students did and being present for their public excoriation was what I was referring to in regards to this incident. I realized my statement from before could be construed as me having direct involvement and I wanted to clear that up.

Interestingly enough, the school seemed to deal with this in exactly the same manner as in the 70's. I suppose this is to be expected. What I have always wondered is how many incidents might have occurred with no witnesses whatsoever.

Oddly enough, this is where Joe went after the incident during my time.

That was what I was referring to.  The person that related the story to me was working for Hyde at the time.  I thought that she related it an eyewitness account but I could be wrong.  There are a number of people that when to Hyde in the seventies that love a guy named Legg and don't care for Joe.  I believe the story was related to me as an example of why/how joe is/was bad vis-a-vis the goodness of Legg.  Legg never beat any one to my knowledge.  He was just verbally abusive.

Kids have been beaten at school for centuries in the US.  I think it is important to draw a distinction here between the good old fashioned  hickory switch out behind the wood shed of the one room school house or the catholic sister/brother that would occasionally administer a ruler predictably to your knuckles, and what Joe did. What we are talking about it a six foot 200 pound man losing his temper with little kids.
