I don't agree. I think Hyde SOMETIMES exports kids who need to take care of their addiction or other psychiatric issue. But I've met so many Hyde kids with serious addiction or psychiatric issues who managed to fly below that radar and didn't get the help they need. Rather, they ended up floundering badly at Hyde. Some of them had major problems complying with Hyde's rules and got into trouble (being put on 2-4 for extended periods of time and much worse); it was so obvious that these kids needed help that Hyde couldn't possibly provide them but they stayed at Hyde anyway.
That's just another aspect of the Hyde tragedy, that is, all the students who could probably benefit from the right kind of treatment program combined with competent schooling. I've seen many kids that Hyde couldn't serve properly. The kids suffered mightily. What seems so sad is that many parents at Hyde ended up there by default (the parents needed to find a school fast or they were misled by Hyde's public relations materials) and don't seem to know how many good and preferable alternatives there are."

I'm not a Hyde employee. Honest. We enrolled our child at Hyde, naively I might add, and discovered over time that Hyde has many very serious problems as a school. We have not been impressed. We have now met lots of parents who feel the way we do. All of us have figured out that Hyde accepts so many students who don't belong there. Perhaps this is due to Hyde's financial pressures. In any case, it seems clear to us that Hyde is shortchanging many students and their parents. Moreover, Hyde's staff is not impressive, overall. I've met many staff who are obviously struggling with their own serious issues. I'm also concerned about the large number of kids who don't return to Hyde and the high staff turnover rate.
We decided to leave Hyde and transfer our child to another school.

I agree with you about the turnover in students as well as staff. It was disappointing to see so much staff leave each year. I do not think this is typical of good, sound boaring schools. Hyde must make a fortune on the tuition that people lose when not completing the year long program. Is there an organization that governs the boarding schools? Who regulates them?
