Hyde Schools / Interview
« on: June 20, 2007, 07:21:44 AM »
My attempts at furthering a constructive dialog that might be of some interest to the main stream press have yielded few results.  Of course, this interviewer can read The Jekyll Side Of Hyde, and contact me if he wishes.

I have no live Sharp recordings, by the way.

Quote from: ""Guest""
I'd be interviewed! It might be kind of difficult to correspond privately though, considering I always post here as a guest... This might even be the reason I finally get a username. I really should. I don't know why it seems so scary to me... A lot of people probably know who I am based on what I post, anyway. In any event, do you have any questions I could answer right now? What don't you understand? I'm an open book.


Have you read my paper, The Jekyll Side Of Hyde?  It's on the web, or I can e mail it to you.

Hyde Schools / gauld admits hyde is a fraud and quits

Quote from: ""bill procida""
mr. eskow...i assume you have been interviewing people who have been through hyde, both middle, extremes, and leaning experiences at hyde.
no attitude behind the comment. just asking. because i see a lot of the anti-hyde people on here get asked to be interviewed. just wondering.
- bill procida '07


Billy- Frankly, I have plenty of interviews with those who view Hyde in the harshest terms.  Unfortunately, I haven't been contacted by a single person in his or her 30's, for example, who has said that he/she has lived by the five words and principles (does anyone remember these poorly written constructs years later?) and that the Hyde experience has materially shaped their adult life positively.

In a recent conversation I had with Laura Gauld I mentioned this fact to her, and said that I'd like to interview her and anyone she might wish to have contact me.  So far, nada.  Ethically, I don't feel comfortable proceeding with an article of my own,  or even turning over my files to an indy reporter, without waiting as long as possible to hear from adults who have graduated with Hyde and maintain a positive perspective.

At some point, however, I will have to proceed.  A few other issues need to explored fully, particularly with regard to the ethos that Hyde brings to underprivileged areas of the country through its charter school program.  The moral standards that the school holds its adult community to have to be analyzed and presented- fairly and dispassionately- to the public.  I'm sure that you, and every caring member of the Hyde community would agree that no child should ever be placed in an environment that puts him or her at risk.

You're in the stretch run.  Good luck!

"Flattery may work GE. Have any live Elliot Sharp CDs?"

Emil, you must be joking--- or you may be a soul relative of Joe's.  Not only would I not flatter you, or hand you any of the CDs of Elliot's that have been sent to me over the years, but I think I'll pass on the interview.

Thanks for your interest!

Peace,

Hey just a little good natured dialectic.  This is the kind of talk you can't get at Hyde.  I suppose I could get an account but I am not a joiner  or a bricklayer.

Emil Nightrate[/quote]

Understood!  I have read your posts and it's clear you have a lot of insight to offer... would you care to be interviewed?

If you'd like to see samples of my interviews before answering, they can be found on my website, www.garyeskow.com

Peace,

"What do you disagree with? The point you made has nothing to do with what I said."

Hard to know who you are, and therefore what you said, since, like many "guests" you seem to have a problem identifying yourself to the community.

Sharp elbows are ok, but since we're all on the same side- trying to discover the truth about human nature, and how best to help kids in crises and their families- tact might also be worth considering.

Forgive me for disagreeing, but I have a different take on this speech.  Although he is unable to think out of the context of inflated self-importance (and of course, its flip side, despair) and thus is completely incapable of true irony, I have no doubt that Joe is sincere in his desire to be of service.

In my judgment, there's nothing wrong with these remarks, though, or course, they are hardly earth shaking or deeply insightful.  

Just my take.

Hyde Schools / History question

Billy--- feel free to address me in whatever manner you're comfortable.  Your continued postings on this site give you the opportunity to hone your powers of deductive reasoning, which, if they are ever to be sharp enough to compete in the market place of ideas with real players, must be dispassionate.

When you get past the first couple of pages of my paper, do let me know how you feel about it.  Your are in an interesting position to judge its veracity, since we seminared together during our overlapping time at Hyde.

Of course I'm bashing noone.  Candidly, however, I must say that in retrospect I find Joe Gauld's treatment of me- and others- and, more importantly, the failure of staff to address his transgressions openly, extremely disturbing.  Duncan McCrann behaved in a manner that was thoroughly unprofessional, and in my opinion, cowardly.  I refrain from indulging in wit for wit's sake and therefore will not refer to him as the "cravenly Mr. McCrann," though I find the phrase apt. I'm sure he has fine qualities as well.

Keep challenging those who, in your judgement, shoot from the hip on this site and attack only for the sake of striking out!  Who does that enterprise serve? I continue to be impressed with your impartiality... it takes courage to swim upstream- keep up the good work!

Elliot's a good guy... good player as well. I don't know how far in the way back machine you go, but I'm interviewing The Ventures right now!

What a fascinating set of stories you people tell!  If you haven't checked other wings of this site you might not know me. My name is Gary Eskow, and I'm a journalist and former Hyde parent.  After being banished from the school one dark Fall night my Malcolm, I wrote up the account of my experience at Hyde.  THE JEKYLL SIDE OF HYDE is all over the 'net; those who would like me to send it directly as a Word document can e mail me (www.garyeskow.com) and you'll see that I've interviewed tons of people, which I mention as a preamble--- talking to you on the phone and getting your essential story should be painless for those who are interested in the endeavor.

Hyde Schools / Don't identify yourself on this board! Hyde is lurking!
« on: March 05, 2007, 07:47:59 PM »
hey mr. eskow. your son was a lieing fake senior who was a sad little boy that i caught beating off to porn too many times on 4 east. he kept a thing of lotion next to his bed and was one of the grimiest people i knew in my time at hyde. your son is a liar. and i hope you give an objective view of hyde, not just a biased one because your son got kicked out. yea, i was there. your son was a joke.

---
It seems clear that you were trying to wound me.  Why?  Have you been taught that questioning people with power is wrong?  As to the material facts, let's take a look at your post.

1.  My son is over 6'2" tall- hardly a "little boy."
2.  I routinely sigh over his lack of concern for the way his room looks, but our son is fastidious with his personal grooming- particularly when there are young ladies present, as there are at Hyde!
3.  Accidentally discovering a roommate- were you his roommate, or did you enter the closed rooms of other students unannounced, and if so, for what purpose?- in the act of self satisfaction is embarrassing to both parties, I would presume.  Why would you put yourself in the position to have this moment repeated?   How do you feel about sex, and would such a discovery bring you pleasure? If so, don't be ashamed of yourself.
4. You "hope" I gave an objective view of Hyde.  How silly of you to even address the topic if you haven't read my paper!

I'm sure you have a lot to offer.  Keep working!  If your goal was to discredit the work I'm doing, however, you've missed the mark.
