Hyde School, The Most Truthful Informative Post I have Seen
Anonymous:
Hey Fletch,
I enjoyed reading the unbiased posts of your first couple visits, but they are beginning to scew towards the neg...
It seems like the Fornits Koolaid is starting to take it's toll on you.

Nope... not negative at all.
In fact, I think I'm relatively balanced. I have learned to take Hyde for what it is/was/will be. And overall, it's not the place it purports to be.
As a result, it is not the right place for most people. And because it's not the right place for most people, the people who it COULD be the right place for also lose out and don't get the help they need.
So, until Hyde corrects this problem (and my unfortunate guess is that they can't without significant leadership turmoil), Hyde won't be the right place for anyone.
This doesn't make me negative about Hyde. Hyde has a desire to be a good place for a certain type of student. Economics, leadership and other factors have a significant impact on their ability to succesfully meet this desire. My sincere hope is that they will evetually get there and if the opportunity arose for me to have an positive change effect upon Hyde, I would take it.... because students like what I used to be need a place to get help.
But parents and students need help NOW. They can't necessarily wait for Hyde to change. So from a purely pragmatic point of view, they need to find something that is functional and not potentially additionally harmful. Sorry if that appears negative towards Hyde. It's really not meant to be.

Nope. As I said before, I asked my parents not to send me back and since they didn't want to be part of the holistic approach, they agreed.
Joe, in fact, told my parents that they were making a huge mistake in not sending me back to Hyde for the rest of my HS education.
I'm not bitter at all. I remember my Hyde experience with a combination of happiness AND sadness. I hated being forced to participate in team sports... but I loved dory building. I hated 2/4... but I loved help John Braun in the kitchen. I hated being "schooled" by Joe in a game of tic-tac-toe in my interview... but I loved the encouragement of "brutal honesty."
And to be brutally honest is to state that Hyde isn't what it needs to be to accomplish their goals/promises/etc.
Again, if that appears bitter, then so be it, I suppose. But I will always remember the fun that I had - the people that I met - and the life lessons that have served me very well.

Really? I never saw it completed. We were working on the hull with Ken Grant... I never knew what happened to it after I left.
I figured they were going to build a fleet of them - anyone else participate in dory building?
