Im not going to be an ass about this but I am going to put it out there. I wrote a letter to a teacher who I trusted a lot when I was at Hyde after he saw a status of mine on facebook and questioned it. I was open and honest about my problems with the school and how I feel about it now, and was never rude or used profane language. I didn't insult anyone, nor did I threaten or degrade. I spoke my mind and let it go, and expected to get something back from a teacher who everyone thought was the wisest of the wise or some ridiculous bullshit. For the guy who cared about my future so much in high school when I was paying your bills and feeding your kids, you really seem to not give two shits about my attitude or my life now. Its little, its insignifigant, but yet it says so much about this ridiculous hell hole I "graduated" from.
Name me one senior who has ever graduated totally honest, and I'll show you the best liar I've ever met.
Well... I take it that you're not one of "the chosen ones." Speaking your mind and questioning the wisdom of "The Hyde Way," if your parents are no longer donating to the school's coffers, is a pretty good way of ensuring that you will shortly be considered
persona non grata.
Hyde isn't so much about instilling a code of ethics or preparing its students for life, as it is about the practice of
behavior modification through the use of
thought reform. In fact, it isn't about "ethics" at all, considering how the school misleads and obfuscates about every misdeed that has occurred under its umbrella, not to mention resorting to outright lies and complete fabrications.
It's really more about
marketing and public relations, and about making a lot of money whilst churning out a good percentage of do-good/go-along citizens who won't cause society a lot of trouble or question the status quo. Critical thinkers are the
last thing this program is hoping to fashion amongst its student population.
You could say that Hyde practices a
type of "eugenics" in its assessment of "character" in its students, a barometer of which resides in how well they
conform to the prototype of an "ideal Hyde student" ... who assuredly believes in the Hyde Way, and
not in any other way. Ethics, or integrity, or some personal code of moral standards, has absolutely nothing to do with it.
