I was talking about ST's message board. Those LTE's are 2 years old and are just the ones that Woodbury CHOSE to post.

There are a great many questions concerning The Seed that need to be answered. Both the methods of "obtaining" Seedlings and the method of indoctrination need to be aired so that all can see how close 1984 really is.

What a laugh! Strugglingteens' rules don't even allow you to even SAY "Hyde" (or the name of any other program).

Don't laugh when you leave this courtroom, thinking you have beat the system because you have looked these things up yourself. We are going to get you down the road.

Just a side note, Outward Bound was once involved with Hyde School in the early '70s.

"Has it escaped everyone's notice that children worried about being sent to a program never post here?



My personal guess is that kids smart enough to find this place also have smart parents (it's a DNA thing) and won't ever have to worry about being sent away. That or they've already taken countermeasures specific to their situation.



However, if there are any, I recommend you post in this thread.



List addresses and phone numbers if the risk is immediate. There's no sense in protecting privacy if you're about to be sent to a place where there is none.



And don't trust your parents for anything- not even food and drinks. (One WWASPS victim's mom drugged her.)"

It's my guess that most such kids don't realize that they're gonna get shipped off until the "escorts" drag them out of bed at 3:30am.

There are two kinds of people; those who's lives have been somehow touched by harsh tragedy and those you don't know very well.

"In my experience the cult like aspects of the program are not the ones that effect the child. They don't need to be. Trapped in a situation and entirely at the mercy of their keepers for an undetermined amount of time eventually the kid is going to break so the cult like aspect is unimportant.



The Cult-like activity is much more significant in the program-parent interaction as the program needs to gain and maintain control over the thinking processes of a grown adult who can walk out at any time. Therefore inmho the most cultlike group is WWASPS using the Gilcrease model seminars.



"

To expand on the program-parent thing, at Hyde the demands for money were a big part of that. Hyde also used parent seminars and most of those were also pitches for "donations" - over and above what the parents were paying for the already high tuition. In addition to enriching the Hyde people, the "donations" were intended to prove the parents' commitment to Hyde and lack of same could cause your kid to be treated horribly (as I learned). But the more money a parent gave to Hyde, the more they got sucked into the program themselves and the less likely they were to listen to their kids.
As to "the most cultlike" I gotta go with Odie. Synanon is the only rehab cult I know of that got an inmate to commit murder for them.

Thanks for the correction. Wasn't Mr. Warren the guy in charge of the dory trips? Rowing around in those boats was the closest I ever came to enjoying anything at Hyde. That is until a freak tropical storm came in.

I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life -- our desire to go on living -- our dread of coming to an end.

Okay, okay I must be getting my faculty mixed up. What I stand by is that someone WAS forced to quit. Whoever it was had their kid run away the previous year. They were given the choice of telling their kid to stay out on the street or quit. This was 1976.

There's no "I" in team.

There's no "U" in team, either.

So... if you're not on the team and I'm not on the team, then who's on the fucking team?

yea, the team sux...down with the team

Is that boarding school Hyde? When I was there in the '70s, faculty with high school-age kids were required to put their kids in Hyde. In fact that year a husband-wife team of faculty members named Kennedy were forced to resign over that very issue.

Hyde Schools / History question
« on: May 26, 2006, 02:46:00 PM »
"National Commitment" was Joe Gauld's idea that he was somehow going to evangelize every school in the country to remake itself in Hyde's image. In addition to the book there was an appearance on the Today Show, another on Phil Donohue, and an article in Time Magazine. Joe, at the time, also had a weekly column in the Portland, ME newspaper. The national media coverage was in 1976 and sort of dried up after that. Also, America's Spirit was supposed to be a part of all of that.

Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction- faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.

Did the kid who got frostbite get treated for it? And on a related note, was the kid accused of faking it or self-inflicting it?

At least if this bill passes...

It's aimed at MySpace but it also applies to message boards. "Online predators" ya know...

They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?

Hyde Schools / sexual misconduct

"I cannot say how much the administrators knew about the teacher's behavior prior to the summer when he left the school after the girl's parents reported his sexual misconduct.



 I do know, however, that there were other inappropriate male comments made to girls about their bodies in general, and some girls were put on diets arbitarily. Seemed odd to have a male teacher weighing in all these teenage girls. The wrestlers taught the girls how to get their weight down for these weigh-ins by using laxatives. The weight loss was totally unsupervised. The teachers said to lose so many pounds and the girls were expected to do it with no guidance. They had to eat the same high starch food in the dining room as everyone else and weigh in once a week. After weighing in on a weekend morning, they headed to the dining room for french toast or pancakes with lots of syrup. Hyde was really good at teaching the binge-purge cycle. "

I guess this is a bit off the sex topic but does anyone know if Hyde's still as obsessed about weight as they were in the '70s?
