I don't check this board everyday.
As far as your concern about mental health professionals...it has nothing to do with your post about the heart attack incident, that I responded to.
Hyde is NOT a therapy school. It offers an alternative to a therapy situation. When a family interviews with Hyde, it is made VERY clear that if the family wants to be a part of the Hyde community and wants to work towards change in the Hyde perameter...than they should go for it. It is made VERY clear that Hyde is not a therapy school and does not offer on campus professional mental health counselling, but if they want to augment their Hyde experience with therapy, it is available in town, but doesn't play a part in their actual Hyde experience.
Also...Don MacMillan did NOT leave for plagerism...it was an incident with Paul Hurd, who is still at the school. Don left to get his Masters in Substance Abuse Counseling.
I am a former Hyde parent.
Thank you...Again I apologize for spelling and tardiness"

I have been reading through the many postings on this website concerning the Hyde School. I am interested in finding out more about this school and its focus on character education. But I am very concerned about some of what I'm reading here. I gather that some people like the school and lots of people don't.
I've noticed a number of comments about scandals at the school (one or two headmasters who resigned, a teacher who had an inappropriate relationship with a student, plagiarism involving an administrator, etc.). I'd like to know more about these incidents if anyone has information. Thanks.

You left out the time when one of the Gauld family, (through marriage) attacked a student. I would not doubt if the student provoked it, but I would hope someone in this man's position would be able to keep his cool. He apologized to the school afterwards, but what does this tell you about the quality of the administrators?

Since you're a tad short on the facts, not much.

I don't think Paul did anything wrong...
Malcolm Gauld gave him a bunch of his old speeches and said..here, these are yours, do what you want with them...so Paul used a portion of one of Malcolm's speeches in a graduation speech and didn't credit him...
Pretty dumb huh?

So if I am "tad" short on the facts, why don't you clear it up. What justifies an administrator pushing a kid against a wall and choking them?
As far as Paul Hurd not giving Malcolm credit, if he didn't do anything wrong then why did the school send out letters to everyone explaining that he was leaving because of the incident?
I am very happy there is someone on this board who obviously is a part of Hyde. I hope you are willing to clear up what you say are misconceptions.
