Would you recommend Hyde ?

The main point is to go to Hyde with open eyes!! It is NOT a mainstream school or simply a school with Character based education! Hyde IS a specialty school with a very high attendance of troubled teens!! Just know this if you are considering Hyde.

Anyway, aside from anecdotal evidence and your personal vendetta, do you have any numbers to back this up? And what is your standard.
Parents, read these boards and educate yourselves. Educating yourself about such an important decision is critical. But also know that angry people come out in droves under the cloak of anonymity on the web, whereas the contented and happy just don't care about these sort of boards.
By all means, you should go to the school and talk with the students. Ask about 2-4. Ask about the horrific abuses.

Hey genius, it's not "anecdotal evidence," it's empirical evidence. There's a big difference.
If you're contented and happy, why are you here? I thought those type of people just don't care about these boards? You seem to invest a lot of energy in this board for someone who doesn't care.
Yes, parents, by all means, ask about the horrific abuses.

Hey there genius, "empirical evidence" is evidence derived from quantitative research from primary sources, not, "I was there, I know".
Well, I was there, and I know too, and I saw the incredible number of students and families whose lives were touched deeply by their time at Hyde, whether or not they graduated.
Just because a significant portion of students do not graduate means little to me. Many can't afford the full four+ years, and many can't handle the rigors of the growth that is required, but most, from my perspective, were profoundly touched.
Granted, my evidence is simply anecdotal, but I was in a place to see that happen over a long span of years. Someone who was there a short time and a chronic runaway probably was less likely to see things anywhere nearly as clear.

I do believe this to be true....as much as they try to position themselves otherwise.

I chuckled inside HYDEFAN when you say people come out under THE CLOAK OF ANONYMITY. Why didn't you give your real name?

I have no reason to post my name. I have a lot of experience on chat boards. They are often filled with a very small number of angry and/or hostile people with unlimited energy devoted to making their point.
The point is, I had an invaluable experience at Hyde. You, on the other hand, attack the school with stories of what you saw (as opposed to what happened to you). Well, having worked on both sides of 2-4, I am fairly certain that were your name to be known, your personal transgressions of the honor code, and your character deficits would at least allow readers to place your comments in context.
So keep chuckling "inside".....at least Tommy's name is out there, and I give him credit for that.
