Well, actually, I have a college degree cum laude, and a doctorate.
My point was that an article....or a post on a chat board....is only relevant in context. Who are these people that wrote this? Not educators, as far as I can tell. Who was the author? We have no idea. True scholarly publications list that sort of information de rigeuer.
And the real question is who are you? I'll bet there is a lot of information about who you are that would place your comments in context as well, and then parents would get something closer to a fair picture."

Tell us about your drinking helmet. What size Kool-Aids can it hold and how many do you drink per day?
Uh, the author and his credentials were listed. You even commented on it. Now you don't know who it was? You must be well into your second 12-pack of Kool-Aid for the day...

Sure. When you don't have anything intelligent to say, attack the person. At least you are revealing your true stripes as somone with an agenda.

"A colleague recently told me about a fascinating article on the Hyde School. It's from a journal called Education Next (it's published by Stanford University's Hoover Institution). Anyone considering sending their child to Hyde should read this article carefully -- it's very thorough and professional. The author says Hyde almost feels like a cult and has an incredibly high drop-out rate -- I find that scary. Here's the article: http://www.educationnext.org/20051/22.html "

I see this article as a true picture of Hyde. Of course there are some of you who will disagree and to that I say, you are entitled to your own opinion. I am entitled to my opinion and my opinion is that this article is a VERY accurate description of Hyde!
HydeFan:
(COPIED FROM A SEPARATE STREAM ON THIS TOPIC)
POTENTIAL PARENTS: I don't have the exact facts here, so my primary statement is, if you want literature on Hyde, read this article by Traub the economist/public policy wonk, who may or may not have a college degree, and who may or may not have an axe to grind that's either personal or socio-psycho-economic-political.
But also call Hyde and ask for copies of the videos of Hyde on 60 Minutes (twice?), 20-20, Barbara Walters (I think her son or daughter went there), and all the other national publicity from less questionable sources. Call and ask for the news stories on Hyde in the written press.
And then read them all.
Its not all flattering, but by and large, there has been a fair amount of prestigious news coverage on Hyde over the years.
And some of it actually reasonably captures the vision and the dream of what many individuals and families have experienced first hand.

I saw you yesterday. You had on a Hyde drinking helmet, a purple robe and Nikes.
When is the big event?
