Hyde School, The Most Truthful Informative Post I have Seen
Anonymous:
I agree! The posters who seem to be defending Hyde all have the same thing in common. They speak the same Cult like language, they cuss and swear, and they seldom have a mature dialog going!
They say that Hyde builds character and prepares kids for the future. All that I see are a bunch of Cultists from Hyde making the same comments over and over again!
I much prefer my child to be his own person, be taught independent thinking skills, learn respect for his fellow man, be taught in a way that is realistic in todays world! It doesn't seem as though this is what Hyde accomplishes with the majority of the kids who go there.
I urge parents to do a lot of research before they send their children to Hyde. Hyde is not the kind of school to consider if your child has motivation problems, mental health issues, drug or alchohol abuse, or if your teen is going through typical teen "stuff."

You're absolutely right. We made a mistake when we enrolled at the Hyde School; we didn't do enough research or hire a competent educational consultant. We made our decision on very superficial impressions of Hyde. Unfortunately we were real naive about boarding schools for teens.
We sure have learned a lot since then. Now we know what questions to ask. We decided to leave Hyde and look for another school. We have been so very disappointed with the Hyde School. The education has been very weak and we have been appalled by some of the staff behavior we've seen. Also, our child could use some mental health services (not major ones, but some counseling to deal with some difficult issues) and Hyde just isn't set up to deal with that. We've learned that Hyde doesn't really care about the emotional stuff kids deal with. For Hyde everything is a "character" issue and we think that's a terrible way to look at a lot of teens who have problems (although I agree that character is important too).
Yes, parents certainly should ask lots of questions before going to Hyde. I think going to Hyde is a BIG mistake for just about every teen and family.

I was recently contacted by another set of parents who have decided to withdraw their child from Hyde in the middle of the year. From all reports this child was not getting into trouble and was not "off track" (to use the Hyde lingo). The parents figured out how appalling a lot of what goes on at Hyde is. In our conversation they described many instances where some of the Hyde staff behaved very unprofessionally. One of the parents is particularly incensed with Joe Gauld. The parent went on and on about his emotionally abusive behavior and language. The parents said they had no idea that Hyde was like this when they started there. They are convinced they have to get their child and themselves away from this school.
