[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea what "cult" would mean. So, please explain.[/quote] a school that has a distinct culture, which is radically different from mainstream schools; one that requires indoctrination and training in that culture, and where students/parents/teachers who do not confirm to that culture are either encouraged not to apply or if accepted, later encouraged to leave. If you read Jay Matthew's book, entitled "Work Hard, Be Nice" you will understand why KIPP is a cult. Another school that falls into this category would be Hyde Leadership PCS, where they require teachers to complete a ropes course, and make students, parents and teachers participate in group therepy sessions in which they are coerced into discussing their deepest, darkest secrets. [/quote] Is this really true re: KIPP, Hyde Leadership? If so, this is really sad and frightening.[/quote]
