article on the Hyde School
Anonymous:
I wouldn't pay attention to HydeFan. It is just another Hydette who has been brainwashed. Very sad that so many people in this world would allow themselves to be influenced by a Cult.
I think the most important thing to accomplish with this board, is not to throw insults but to post facts about Hyde so when parents are considering it, they will be informed of what actually goes on at the school rather than looking at fancy colorful brosures.
Please continue to tell your stories about what you observed at Hyde which was illegal or immoral!

Ok then, is Hyde still requiring male students to
starve themselves to make the small weight classes
in wrestling? They sure were in '76. As I recall
the penalty for not making weight was called
"sharking". This meant that you would wrestle
one guy for 60 seconds, the whistle would be
blown, he's replaced by a fresh wrestler for
another 60 seconds, another whistle, another
wrestler, etc., etc... until you dropped.
Also I seem to remember that for the Varsity guys
they would jack the heat in the wrestling room to
like 90 or 100 degrees and they'd do practice in
that. The Varsity guys looked like concentration
camp survivors.
That's all marijuana is, after all. It's just a plant, a common and easily grown one at that. In many cultures, its consumption was lawful for millennia. And in all that time, the bond between thugs, mayhem, murder and marijuana that we see today did not exist.

The wrestling program was definitely abusive to some degree, but to my understanding, was changed around 1980.

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.

So to recap your point:
1. Hydefan is brainwashed
2. The key is to not throw insults
3. I have an agenda and don't want to hear that Hyde may have been good or better for some or many. Please only post things which were illegal or immoral.
I would point out how 1 & 2 seem, well, shall we say, inconsistent? 3 seems to speak for itself as well.
