Major reasons: emotionally abusive staff at Hyde; unwillingess to be sensitive to my child's mental health needs and challenges; poorly trained staff; cult atmosphere; bizarre incidents I have observed during seminars that Hyde staff completely mishandled; witnessing Joe Gauld's unbelievable arrogance and hypocrisy.  There's more, but these are the big issues.

Unfortunately unless you hire an attorney you are probably out of luck with getting any money back.  Hyde makes a fortune on all the parents who withdraw their kids during the year, which many do after discovering what the school is about.  Possibly many of you can try to get the same attorney in Ct or Bath and make a bigger impact by joining forces.  Do you have any suggestions, Lars?  As you can see there are more and more disgruntled parents joining this board.

Does anyone know whether Maine or Connecticut education officials have any jurisdiction over Hyde?  

Also, as several people have recommended, anyone with concerns about Hyde should absolutely share them with the agency that accredits Hyde: the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (Commission on Independent Schools) at http://www.neasc.org/cis/cis.htm

NEASC must hear about parents' concerns.

The only one regulating Hyde is the NEASC.  They can't do a thing about the abuses unless you report them.  Hyde will continue as they do unless you bring all of this to their attention. The contact at the NEASC is the following:

I wrote about this in an earlier post.  If you think you have a legal claim, consult a lawyer and don't worry about what other families are doing.

It's fine that you believe Hyde is an excellent school.  Others do too.  However, there's no denying that scores of Hyde alumni (students and parents) and current students/parents have reached the opposite conclusion, that Hyde is a terribly harmful school that can damage lives severely.  So, anyone considering Hyde should explore the school with their eyes WIDE open.

Are you asking whether Hyde School's modus operandi has changed?  (No.) Or do you have a particular question or arena of concern?

I can't tell whether you are a new visitor, or whether you are an Infrequent Regular who is just checking in... Fornits suffered a bit of a wipe-out recently and, for a variety of reasons, three months of material was lost (essentially March, April, May of this year). Things are still in the process of getting back to "normal."
