Requesting Parents' Assessment of Hyde School
gary eskow:
With regard to Joe Gauld, you state, "he's hopeless, and it's clear he's fading away with a very weak sense of self." Is there evidence that he's really "fading away with a very weak sense of self"? I sense you're probably right, but I haven't seen it myself. What have you seen?[/quote]
Ah, so you're someone still at Hyde! I really don't know... it's just that he's old, and he can't always have been as confused and befuddled as he obviously was on the occasions when I observed him. I hope I'm wrong and that he enjoys many years of good health!

Any way to know who their insurance company is or how to contact the companies that donate to them?

I imagine that Hyde's annual report lists major donors.

OK, so here's what you do if you're serious: you write a piece of about 7,500 words that points out in a clear and fair manner the things about the Hyde School that are disturbing to so many people who have passed through the institution. To be effective this piece MUST include quotes from individuals- both students and their parents- who have had negative experiences with Hyde; hiding behind a cloak of anonymity is fine on sites like this, but it won't cut it at the next level. You build up a case that is difficult to dismiss.
You also compose this piece so that it will also be read by educational consultants, newspaper and magazine editors, and producers at media outlets.
The ultimate result, hopefully, would not be that the Hyde School collapse, but rather that under duress it is forced to face up to the damaging behavior that has blemished its performance, and become a better place. At least, that would be my hope.

My wife recently told me about a very popular web site that posts responsibly written letters and commentaries about programs and schools for struggling teens. My understanding is that this is one of the most popular web sites out there for people looking into schools for struggling teens.
It turns out that several people have written about their Hyde experiences. I think all of us should consider submitting material to this web site. I gather it gets many "hits." The link is: http://www.strugglingteens.com/news/let ... index.html
