If you follow the threads, you see patterns of distortion perpetrated in similar styles by a handful of individuals who have obvious issues with Hyde School. Hyde is not for every student and every family, and sometimes that isn't clear until someone attends the schools.

To attach any credibility to an anonymous public forum where individuals can spew mistruths, distortions and attacks is a mistake. The lack of credibility alone undermines the value of anything you might read here, including my own comments. Beware of attaching any value to what you read here...

Translation: Believe only what we tell you.

Frankly, if the choice is between an anonymous, random person who claims experience at Hyde, and Hyde's own statements, the anonymous person is a far more believable source. Anonymous, random people simply have a higher percentage of truth telling than Hyde, which, like other hellholes, approximates zero.

You better, idiot.

Here's a hint. Nobody gets paid to post their experiences. If they have a grudge against Hyde there is probably a reason for it. It's very hard to make this sort of thing up. Read the longer threads.

On the other hand, attempting to discredit these allegations probably benefits the original poster of this thread, which is why Hyde propaganda can be logically thrown out; they simply have no reason to tell the truth.

It doesn't work, of course, because no parent who reads even the slightest bit of Fornits is going to send his or her kid away. That's just plain simple. Nobody with half a brain is going to read pages and pages of allegations of abuse from all kinds of people with clearly different writing styles, and then say "well that's fine I'm sending my kid anyway."

In sum, eat a gun.

Hey Milk, are you a former student or parent? Glad you are telling the truth about Hyde. Would be nice to see you on the Cafety site too. Are you aware of it?

Mr Milk Gurgle,

  You sound very hostile.  Only a person with half a brain would listen to a person that would advise another which whom they are not aquainted to "eat a gun."  It seems a harsh remedy for a little mocking of your arrogant ersatz authority on the subject Hyde. As far as idiocity we need look no farther then your posts wich are delightful chock full of the same.
 Just to show that I am a good sport, I wish you a pleasant fourth.  Please be careful with fire arms and fireworks.  America needs folks like you to boost the rating of hit shows like the "fear FActor" and "american idiot"

You Sir Noah are the hostile one!  This board is filled with people who have differing opinions of Hyde.  There is no right and wrong as far as the postings.  Hyde taught us to be honest and this is exactly what many people are doing.  And who are you to judge?  If you like Hyde then great!  No one is telling you not to post, so why do you come on this board and put down the people who have had bad experiences at Hyde?  An experience is an experience and these people are journaling just like we did at Hyde.

As far as lack of the english language, there is a simple reason.  Hyde has lousy teachers and does not push the scholastics at the school.  The education at Hyde or should I say lack of, is pathetic.

When I was at the Hyde Woodstock campus, there were approximately 60 kids in the substance abuse program.  They met with a counselor, (don't know think he was either a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.) on a regular basis.

All of the students and parents participate in "family sessions and discussion groups."  This is what any professional would call a group therapy session.  A normal boarding school does not require this of parents or students.  Because of this Hyde should not advertise themselves as a prep school with a focus on character.  They are a therapeutic boarding school without any licensed therapist on staff!  This is not a healthy way to run a therapeutic boarding school, especially at $35,000++ a year, but until someone steps up to the plate and tries to get the government to intervene with private boarding schools, Hyde will continue to operate in this manner.

Right - Hyde admits that it accepts many kids with substance abuse and serious psychological problems and then pretends that it's a prep school with a character focus.  When I was at Hyde I saw lots of things behind the scenes that convinced me that Hyde has the same sort of population you find at many therapeutic boarding schools, but at Hyde there are is no treatment program or trained professionals.  After awhile I realized that Hyde is a disaster for many students who need lots of help that Hyde can't (or won't) provide.

I deeply resent your judgmental language.  It seems to me that if you truly embraced Hyde's ethos and values, you would not engage in this sort of dismissive, destructive exchange.  Your language is exactly the reason why we left Hyde.  When we enrolled at Hyde we had no idea so many people there point fingers in the same way you seem to.  Now we know there are much better and more positive ways to treat people AND help them change, take a hard look at their issues, etc.

FYI: Our family has been earnest about examining our own issues.  We have no problem doing so.  What we have discovered since leaving Hyde is that Hyde is not a healthy place in which to examine one's issues.  We've had far more success at our child's new school, where the staff are so much more skilled than Hyde's staff.  The comparison is unbelievable; Hyde's staff seems very weak by comparison.  It's a pleasure to be surrounded by so many competent staff who are insightful, skilled, and sensitive.  We simply didn't encounter that very much at Hyde.  At Hyde we found most staff to be aggressive, judgmental, and lacking in insight.  By the way, we HAVE found real happiness.  Leaving Hyde has contributed to that greatly.

Well Timmy, those who come to this board know who you are because you write the same things over and over again, just like Hyde uses the same cliches over and over again. When you talk to anyone from Hyde they sound like robots using the same phrases and words.  They don't really speak from the HEART as Hyde proclaims, they speak the lingo that Joe Gauld and the rest of the crew teaches them.  

Anne asked you a question and you failed to answer it.  Is this because you can't answer why Hyde never takes responsibility for their failings?

Hyde has their followers similar to the Scientologist, Hari Krishna, EST participants, etc.  You will always find someone who latches onto an ideal that can control them rather than controlling your own lives and destiny.  Hyde professes to do this but in actuality Hyde does not consider you a success unless you follow them.

Anne,
   Let's see...substance abuse and serious psychological problems should qualify as pathology. I agree with you that adolescence doesn't. What seems to be the problem here, other than the preoponderence of self-pitying losers on this site who exert their energies blaming others for their problems rather than face up to their failures and shortcomings and move their lives in a positive direction. If you're holding on to anger and vitriole towards Hyde, it's hard to imagine that you've moved on to a positive place in your life, eg "real" happpiness. It's laughable, but also sad...

Ah, but that's the point right there.  Most of these kids who are diagnosed (improperly and by unqualified persons most of the time) don't really have the substance abuse and psych problems that they're parents believe and the staff exacerbate and feed off of.  Have you ever taken a look at the so called "warning signs" on any of those sites?  They're absolutely ridiculous.  They describe just about every single teen in the country.  "Is your child moody?  Does your child talk back and use abusive language?  Have their friends changed?  Do they listen to music you object to?"   Very, very few kids actually need to be removed from the home and those that do have serious mental issues that cannot be addressed in the setting you promote and most of the time is the last[/b] place someone with those kinds of issues needs to be.

Quote
What seems to be the problem here, other than the preoponderence of self-pitying losers on this site who exert their energies blaming others for their problems rather than face up to their failures and shortcomings and move their lives in a positive direction. If you're holding on to anger and vitriole towards Hyde, it's hard to imagine that you've moved on to a positive place in your life, eg "real" happpiness. It's laughable, but also sad...


I wasn't in Hyde.  I was in one of it's predecessors years ago and I recongnize the bullshit when I see it.  How utterly typical of program proponents to use ad hominem attacks when you run out of ammo.  You know absolutely nothing about me or my life but feel totally justified in diagnosing me from a couple of posts on a message board.  I'm a 40 year old woman with two grown, successful kids.  I've got a lovely home that's just about paid for, a nice motortrawler that my husband and I regularly vacation in beautiful places on, a family that adores me and life in general is pretty damn sweet.  But feel free to view me as you do.  It's really your only defense mechanism against reality.   See, according to the people who ran my program and their supporters I should be long deadinsaneorinjail by now.  It completely flies in the face of your little fantasies that anyone who would oppose such places must be unhappy, disgruntled or whatever other adjective you choose.

Anne,
   Let's see...substance abuse and serious psychological problems should qualify as pathology. I agree with you that adolescence doesn't. What seems to be the problem here, other than the preoponderence of self-pitying losers on this site who exert their energies blaming others for their problems rather than face up to their failures and shortcomings and move their lives in a positive direction. If you're holding on to anger and vitriole towards Hyde, it's hard to imagine that you've moved on to a positive place in your life, eg "real" happpiness. It's laughable, but also sad...


Our family is now in a very good place and pleased with where we're headed.  We are thrilled with the educational experience our child had in the school she went to AFTER Hyde.  Our family grew too, as a result.  At the same time, we continue to feel deeply bitter toward Hyde and angry about the many pathological practices and brainwashing tactics Hyde uses.  So, you're absolutely wrong when you say that  "If you're holding on to anger and vitriole towards Hyde, it's hard to imagine that you've moved on to a positive place in your life, eg 'real' happpiness. It's laughable, but also sad."  

The clear fact is that these are not mutually exclusive --  people can continue to resent Hyde while, at the same time, they celebrate the growth and positive gains they've achieved as a result of leaving Hyde and finding much healthier environs.  Many of us have moved way past Hyde with good results.  We're also eager to let others know about the deep problems at Hyde so they can avoid the horror we experienced at that school.

The point is that when you insult only (I don't mind taking hits, you haven't yet approached offending me) it shows that you're avoiding any questions that have been asked.  Why would you want to avoid the questions?  You support and defend the school, why not tell us what's so great about it?  I haven't made any accusations or statements of fact about Hyde because I don't know any facts.  That's why I'm asking questions.  So far all I've got to go on is some pretty serious allegations of emotional and maybe physical abuse, extreme control over kids and familites, cult like practices, allowing a former employee who was forced to resign due to an improper relationship with a student back on campus and more.  The only thing you've done to "defend" your position that Hyde is great is come on here and post...well, Hyde is great, and then insult me and completely avoid any discussion of the facts or allegations.

If you don't get it this time then it's just too far over your head Honey.

Well, in all fairness it's hard to know if the people I'm asking did or didn't work at Hyde...or go there.  None of you will sign in, so I'm just going on what's been written here.

You (supporters of Hyde) came on here and began posting in defense of the school.  I didn't go to Hyde's forum and do that.  You came here.  I responded.  I asked questions.  Yes, I already have some of my opinions formed....I'm only human, but that's why I'm asking questions.  I really would like to find out why you think Hyde is really all that different from Straight or WWASPS or any of the others.  I think that's the only way anyone is going to get anywhere with this issue.  We (both sides of this) need to be able to do that.  Again, I'm asking for your opinions since you came here, defended Hyde and seem to believe in it so strongly.

You seem to be familiar with Hyde's methods and teachings in some capacity, otherwise you wouldn't you wouldn't keep returning to see what we write, 'cuz ya know......'no one pays attention' to it anyway, so I'm asking again.  

What is the concept of Brother's Keeper?  

What is involved in the parent weekends?

Why is someone who settled a sexual misconduct case involving a student still allowed on campus?

What is with all the reporting of students having sex with teachers and counselors?

How are Hyde's academics dealt with?

Probably about 10-15% left during Sr year to return to school at home or other school. Issues were too tough for them or they didn't want to face up to some ot the demands made on seniors, so they went back to the "easy" life in public school. A couple convinced their parents that they could do it without Hyde and wanted to prove it to themselves and their family. Most have since expressed the wish that they finished what they started instead of leaving.

i am glad to hear good things about a program.but i dont believe a single word of it. i guess everybody who has bad to say is a liar.whatever! you can continue to lie to yourself if you want. that is exactly what i did. and for 18 yrs at that. i thoght my problems and the things going on in my head were just normal life. they got worse and worse. sure these "schools" educate you. ha! the education i got is not recognised anywhere. i had to go get my g.e.d. they did educate me on how to read people's actions, tone and body language. they did teach me to believe nothing anyone says. they taught me to trust no one. is this the education we want our children to get? the future leaders of our country? come on get real. one day you too will wake up. and it promises to be a rude awakening. as for people wishing they had not left, it's called stockholm syndrome. there is no good that comes of these places. they stripped me of my personality and replaced it with who they wanted me to be. a robot. get real your a liar .we will forgive you though for you know not what you say ,YET!!!!!!!!

i am glad to hear good things about a program.but i dont believe a single word of it. i guess everybody who has bad to say is a liar.whatever! you can continue to lie to yourself if you want. that is exactly what i did. and for 18 yrs at that. i thoght my problems and the things going on in my head were just normal life. they got worse and worse. sure these "schools" educate you. ha! the education i got is not recognised anywhere. i had to go get my g.e.d. they did educate me on how to read people's actions, tone and body language. they did teach me to believe nothing anyone says. they taught me to trust no one. is this the education we want our children to get? the future leaders of our country? come on get real. one day you too will wake up. and it promises to be a rude awakening. as for people wishing they had not left, it's called stockholm syndrome. there is no good that comes of these places. they stripped me of my personality and replaced it with who they wanted me to be. a robot. get real your a liar .we will forgive you though for you know not what you say ,YET!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that your personal educational experience at Bethel wasn't very good, but I'm not sure what that has to do with Hyde School.

No the content of the forum tells the whole story.  Hyde is nothing but an abusive mindrape posing as a 'treatment center'.
I thought it was a school.

Schools educate kids.  Hyde does not educate!  The teachers stink.  The ones who are qualified and good, leave within a year or two.

I went there for 3 years and graduated. Then went on to college, did fine, graduated. Then went on to graduate school, did fine, graduated. Hyde did OK by me and most of my classmates academically. You get out what you put into it.

What percentage of the Hyde class you started with graduated with you?  How many dropped out/left Hyde?  (Glad to know things worked out well for you.)

Probably about 10-15% left during Sr year to return to school at home or other school. Issues were too tough for them or they didn't want to face up to some ot the demands made on seniors, so they went back to the "easy" life in public school. A couple convinced their parents that they could do it without Hyde and wanted to prove it to themselves and their family.

the most convincing thing i ever hear was in my sennior year when i went to a friends funeral(they had been at hyde in the past but not there for like 3 years) and i was speaking to an old friend of mine who had decided to not do his senior year at hyde but at public schoo;(this was a year after he was supposed to graduate) and he turned to me and said "the biggest mistake i made was not going back for my senior year"  he meant it and i know he still regrets it cause senior year if you do it right helps out a lot and really settles people down, i have since graduated and where i go to school i am mistaken for young faculty by the way t hat i speak to other adults and the insight that i provide.  i am not saying that i am a goody 2 shoes, o still go out and have fun and party but i also know how to control myself and i know that hyde helped to give me the confidence to do that.

  One of the things you get from Hyde is the sense of self reliance/resposiblity.   You would not / may not have that a priori.  If you did you would be way up on the game.  Viktor Frankel lesson is one of the lessons I got from Hyde.  You always own your reaction, it is the one thing that can never be taken from you.   If your teacher sucks and you want to learn and you don't, whos problem is it?

Here's a hint. Nobody gets paid to post their experiences. If they have a grudge against Hyde there is probably a reason for it. It's very hard to make this sort of thing up. Read the longer threads.



On the other hand, attempting to discredit these allegations probably benefits the original poster of this thread, which is why Hyde propaganda can be logically thrown out; they simply have no reason to tell the truth.



It doesn't work, of course, because no parent who reads even the slightest bit of Fornits is going to send his or her kid away. That's just plain simple. Nobody with half a brain is going to read pages and pages of allegations of abuse from all kinds of people with clearly different writing styles, and then say "well that's fine I'm sending my kid anyway."



In sum, eat a gun.


You make a very convincing argument... I'm convinced that disturbed people who don't belong at Hyde shouldn't go there...

It was the school that settled the case, not the perv, but it is true that he is around campus all the time.  He lives in Hyde housing with his wife who is a teacher there.  They had gotten divorced but are now remarried.  You can read all about it in the Hyde Newsletter.  

Hyde hosted the wedding of this PERVERT.  What does that tell you about how serious Hyde takes sexual harassment complaints? If someone tries to infer that this was a one time incident, do not believe them.  There were complaints for years about this Perv.  It was brought to the schools attention after the lawsuit also, but their attitude seems to be that he has every right to participate at the school, live in school housing, and be a guest of the staff at functions related to his kids and also functions for staff.

A bunch of meaningless crap at the site you refer to. Unsubstantiated (and likely fabricated/exaggerated) claims and no legal finding. Again, anyone can make things up (and even believe them in their own mind), but proving it in a court is a whole 'nother ball game. Yes, the case was settled by Hyde to reduce their financial losses, at the advice of counsel. But the settling plaintiff party got money, not a legal finding (if in fact their charges were even true in the first place) and there is no determination as to what "really" happened. This individual is no longer in a position of authority over kids at Hyde and probably will never be. If this persone were a convicted pedophile, then they should absolutely be banned from the campus and be on a sex offender registry. But to continue persecuting him based on the he said/she said of a disturbed teenage girl and her even more disturbed parent just isn't right. If there are confirmed cases of his continued inappropriate behavior, then perhaps there's a matter to discuss. But there doesn't seem to be any smoke here (except from what you're smoking), let alone fire. Sorry, I don't agree with you or your practices here.

A bunch of meaningless crap at the site you refer to. Unsubstantiated (and likely fabricated/exaggerated) claims and no legal finding. Again, anyone can make things up (and even believe them in their own mind), but proving it in a court is a whole 'nother ball game. Yes, the case was settled by Hyde to reduce their financial losses, at the advice of counsel. But the settling plaintiff party got money, not a legal finding (if in fact their charges were even true in the first place) and there is no determination as to what "really" happened. This individual is no longer in a position of authority over kids at Hyde and probably will never be. If this persone were a convicted pedophile, then they should absolutely be banned from the campus and be on a sex offender registry. But to continue persecuting him based on the he said/she said of a disturbed teenage girl and her even more disturbed parent just isn't right. If there are confirmed cases of his continued inappropriate behavior, then perhaps there's a matter to discuss. But there doesn't seem to be any smoke here (except from what you're smoking), let alone fire. Sorry, I don't agree with you or your practices here.


  Good points.  But don't you think it creates an appearance iimpropriety  to has Larry on campus?

On the other hand it, it is good that hyde is not tossing him as damaged goods and standing by him as part of the family, if he is in fact dealing with any alledged problems he may have had.

I think alot of the crap posted here on the subject is just that.  There are a group of folk with a "woodie" for Hyde and will grab anything that smells bad and say "see I told you Hyde was fucked up"

What evidence do you have that the student and parent are both "disturbed"?  Those are pretty strong claims.  Isn't it possible that they have legitimate complaints to make against Hyde?  I'm willing to believe that some Hyde critiques may exaggerate, but I know, based on what I've observed first hand, that some of the serious complaints against Hyde are absolutely valid.  They don't necessarily come via "disturbed" parents or students.

Oh, but it's so much easier to distract from the truth by going after the 'easy targets' (pissed off kids, parents).  That way they don't have to face up to what they've done.  They can just write off any criticism at all and stay in fantasyland.

Go castrate yourself.  If you have anything at all to do with the school you know he is a pervert in the worst way possible! Who cares who proves what, the guy is a sicko!!  Not rumor, fact.

You talk about destroying someone's reputation and affecting their livelihood and career.  Are you saying he should be allowed back to work at Hyde?  Should we give him a job coaching girls varsity again so he can give backrubs and cop a feel whenever he can?

What about destroying the reputation of the girl who you say fabricated this story? It is ok for you to attack someone, but not ok for someone on this board to make their own claims?  Please tell us if, and how you are related to the Hyde Schools?   I am not afraid to say that I am a former student and a friend of a couple of girls who made serious claims while I was at Hyde.  One student, (a boy) even confronted Larry in the auditorium in front of the entire school and said, "You make the girls here very uncomfortable and it needs to stop."  Hello???  Is this enough for you?  Why were these claims not made about other faculty?  Where there is smoke, there is fire.

The FACT is that either he or the school settled a sexual harassment case against him.  Are they telling current and propective marks that this guy is frequently on campus?  Wouldn't you agree that those parents and kids at the very least have the right to know that?

This sounds like someone who doesn't want to take responsibility for their own doing.  Seems to me that it would be very difficult for someone to affect someone else's career or livelihood unless there was some truth to it.

Still don't see any facts or personal testimonials here. I don't know the girl in question personally, so I can't attest to whether or not she (or her mom) are as disturbed as I hear they are. My point is that it doesn't matter, a disturbed person or a rational one can file a civil lawsuit and wreak havoc on the defendents life, putting them at-risk economically. If you've never been a defendant in a frivolous lawsuit, you don't know what I mean.
   So because a "brave" boy confronts Scary Larry in front of the school telling him he makes the girs "uncomfortable", he's now classified a pedophile. Sounds to me like maybe he refused to acknowldege the inappropriateness of some of his behaviors, and now he is in a different line of work. Should he ever work in a position of authority over young girls, probably not. Did Hyde perhaps let things go on longer than they should have. Probably. Did they learn from it. I bet they did. I don;t see where he is in a position to hurt anyone at this point, but if there were any allegations of inappropriate behavior hereforward, I would agree that he probably would and should earn himself a campus ban, regardless of his family ties. But again, I've yet to see/hear any substantive allegations here about his prior behavior, except that he was "creepy". That's not a crime last time I checked...

Again with the bit about anyone who has a complaint about Hyde is just angry, disgruntled or disturbed.  :roll:

Did Hyde make the parents aware of the situation with Larry?  Did they inform the parents that a harassment suit had been settled and that Larry would continue to be allowed free access to the campus?  Isn't that the very LEAST that Hyde owes the parents and kids?

This reminds me of that politician in Florida who wrote innappropriate emails to underage interns.  He is plastered all over the news each day and we don't know that he even touched anyone.  This is e-mails only at this point.

According to several people on this site, there is no doubt that the teacher Dubinsky was more than innappropriate with the female students yet some arrogant jerk is trying to disclaim it because there is no physcial proof other than the girls word as well as many students backing it up.  A Psychologist once told me that if a kid tells you they have been molested, listen to them.  Most kids do not want to come forward when something like this happens which is why it is so under reported.  

By the way, the lawsuit posted on http://www.isaccorp.org/ (http://www.isaccorp.org/) is pretty darn specific.  Hard to believe someone would make something up like this.  I am not saying it doesn't happen, but I strongly suggest investigating Hyde further before placing a child there.

The emails in Florida are proof. The heresay posted here, and even the accusations in the lawsuit are not proof, and may not even be factual. I don't think that asking for some facts or proof makes someone an arrogant jerk. Too many people "interpret" things here to further their own viewpoint and that's why I would call into question accusations made on this site. It goes back to the topic of this post.

Settled means settled. Hyde doesn't owe this to anyone, although I'm sure something was learrned from it. If he were a registered sex offender, perhaps. But a determination was never reached, there's no verdict. Maybe the plaintiff could take some of their "windfall" and pay for some advertising on ISACCORP?

You seem to have first hand knowledge about this.  You have been asked on several ocassions what your association to the school is.  You obviously don't want to tell us your name, but at least tell us if you are a faculty member, former student, or parent.

The plaintiff seems to be a young person, (don't remember when this lawsuit happened) so why would they have any need for advertising?  Is this your way of being humorous?  Is it a common trait of people associated with Hyde to make jokes about sexual harassment of young female students?

Hopefully those affected in a negative way by Hyde will grow in spite of Hyde.  It seems that many times Hyde attributes someone's growth to being at Hyde when in actuality it is just plain maturity and growing up, with or without Hyde.  Parents, keep your kids at home and participate in therapy with them.  No reason to send them to a boarding school to "fix" the problems you might have helped create.  If you do love your kids, you will keep them home and not send them to a place like Hyde.  My opinion is that your money is much better spent on individual therapy.

It's not just a few things here and there. Joe Gauld sounds very much like Miller Newton....a malignant narcissist. The whole structure of Hyde follows the same pattern that Straight did. The similarities are too great to ignore.

Make up your mind... was it you, was it your imagination or was it a drug-addled combination of both... or do you just like to judge something that you don't know ANYTHING about except from the trash you read here... Have a nice day jerk-off...

What's a swip?  I meant the entire thread, but once again you're not interested at all in an actual discussion.  That seems to be a problem with most of you that support Hyde.  You come on here, say a few nasty things, call everyone liars and losers and then run away when pressed for real answers.  I've yet to find someone who is willing to just have a dialogue.

Yes, I've got my opinions of Hyde and they're not good, but I don't know all there is to know about it.  That's why I ask.  I do not believe that's it's helpful or even benign but I'd really like to find out why YOU do and get into specifics about it. If and when you find the guts to do that, let me know.

If you've yet to find anyone willing to have a dialogue with you, perhaps you should look at the way you attack anyone and everyone and your crappy persona. Why would anyone want to waste their time in discussion with someone so negative, unpleasant and condescending, unless they are at the same place themselves and just want to share the Hyde-bashing with other ill-informed and angry folks like yourself.

  There were parts of it that were truely screwed up when I was there.   I think some of those things are stil screwed up AFAIKT.  My sense is that there is still the impulse to put personallity before principle.  I think you can see that manifested in the incestous power structure.  The fact that there is no alum measurment of outcomes in the things that Hyde claims it is doing is a clear indication (IMHO) that there is some snake oil in the mix.  There has been some real quantitative analysis of the effect of social intervention on a dollar cost/benefit of public spending in human services:
Link (http://http://scholar.google.com/scholar%3Fq%3Dmeasurement+of+outcomes+in+social+work%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3D3BP%26oi%3Dscholart)
 Hyde could do this.  But instead it is dropping something on the order of a million a year in fund raising.  Which BTW seems to be netting a 1:15 return (good work Mal !)  It is really difficult to know what works if you do not measeure outcomes. If you do not know what works and what doesn't you can't improve your process. One of the big "star" poster kids of my era have ended up dead from substance abuse. What went wrong there?  There is always an explaination:  you did not really get the program, you did not come too terms , etc, etc.  If you succeed it is because you got it, if you fail it is because you did not. Which in a way is true, but the "it" my friend is not Hyde.
Yet, from my view point it was a good experience.  I was resistant to a lot of the charater innoculations which in a very odd way was one of the biggest charater building experiences of my life.  There is so much in life that you really need to "prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet"  I learned game face at Hyde and the poem from which I quote:
http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html (http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html)
So I am not un unabashed Hyde cheerleader.  I do take umbridge, Anne,  with people that bash the place and do not know that there is no Bath/Phillipsburg exit off route 1, there is a Bath/Phippsburg exit.  I also what you to know that Phippsburg was named after William Phipps the first Royal governor of Massachusetts:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Phips  I learned that from a Teacher named Bud.

No, you're lumping me in with everyone on this site.  We're not all alike, we don't all carry on conversations the same way.  

So, I'm asking.  Are you ready or willing to discuss Hyde in a rational manner and answer some questions?  If someone else comes along and is an asshole, all you really need to do is not respond to those posts.  If you're truly interested in discussing this instead of just running in and calling everyone a bunch of names, you'll find a way to do that.

Lenny ran away from hyde.  Hyde was not a good fit for him. The Warrens let Lenny back into thier house.  The Warrens were forced out of the school.  Bud was one of the originals in '66.  I my estimation the most well balanced of the founders, witness the fact that he chose his son over the school dogma.

Now that you describe the scenario, I can vaguely remember...  And I concur with your impression of the Warrens.  Infinitely less histrionics...  The mother was the school nurse, if I remember correctly?  Also, IIRC, they were from Maine?  

Brings to mind another such... Aldridge; don't remember his first name.  Daughter Abby attended for a while, did not stay the course.  Very interesting, independent, and intelligent family.  Mother was a former dancer and very creative.

I am very sorry to hear that (Dick Aldridge).  He was a good writer, and could wield his chops well when it came to dissecting language...

Does anyone know whatever happened to Clayton and Warren Press?  I ran into Warren, completely by accident, in early 1978, if I recall correctly... I later learned that he had died, whilst on or associated with a trip undertaken with Robbie Siegel...  Warren was another one of these stellar students with "fine leadership qualities," held up as an example to the rest of us, who later woke up and touted the place as a total crock of crap.  In very little time I might add, in Warren's case.  I tend to believe, although I assuredly do not know this for a fact at all, that Rob and Warren were of the same mind on this.  I knew Clay better, he was a bit of a loner, like me, although I've heard nothing post-Hyde...

Thanks for the name correction!  What was Warren being given medication for?  Why were they in Afghanistan?
