When I was involved with Hyde, there were these... Admission Teas. These were hosted by some Hyde parent under the guise of "this worked for us, maybe this would be a good idea for your family." Some administrator or prominent faculty member from the school would also attend and give some presentation of "the Hyde School difference." And this was, in fact, just how my family first got suckered into Hyde School.

It is not until your family is actually involved with the place, that you begin to realize just how much pressure there is placed on families to get involved in recruitment like this. It is expected of you. Not only the school, but also other parents, will be undoubtedly be calling you.

In fact, lack of such involvement will probably bode ill for your kid. The sins of the parent will be borne by the child. "Lack of commitment" is generally and often seen as being a family-wide disease.

HAPA is part of the Cult activities. Have you ever seen any legitimate college prep work so hard to recruit followers? Isn't necessary with the good college preps. I agree with Hyde that they are a unique school, but they need to be honest as to why they are unique. They are a Cult for troubled youth, not a college prep school as they advertise. Education is secondary to the indoctorination. When I was there the credentials of most staff were not very impressive. Hyde, time to make up your mind what kind of school you want to be and then market yourself as so.

So... HAPA now has its own website: http://www.hapaonline.org/

I visited, and found the following piece on "Workshops in 2008" prominently featured:



Workshops focus on relationship, personal growth & step-parenting/blended family issues

A new series of national HAPA workshops in 2008 on the Bath and Woodstock campuses offer HAPA parents a chance to continue the Hyde process and go deeper. Hyde will be offering workshops focusing on relationship issues, personal growth and the specific issues that arise in step parenting and blended families. Lee Mortenson and Carol Kirkland, both HAPA parents and principals in Relationship Training, LLC have agreed to serve as Hyde's National HAPA Coordinators and will offer the weekend intensives to HAPA parents and others.



"The Hyde process really offers parents a chance to be introspective and look at their personal issues. These workshops are aimed at those parents who want to go deeper into what's going on in their relationships and personal life," said Mortenson, adding, "The three day weekend workshops give couples and individuals an opportunity to strengthen their relationship with their partners and with themselves."

Mortenson and his wife, Carol Kirkland, facilitate workshops in Maryland and in Taos, New Mexico on relationship and work with individuals and couples in person and by phone. (You can find out more about their work at www.RelationshipTraining.Net). The Spring 2008 Workshop schedule is as follows:
