"The insult war is getting ridiculous and is off topic. If you have something to say that is relative to the topic of education and what education should look like, then I think that would be much more interesting. There are plenty of people who love Hyde and had wonderful experiences there. Those who didn't seem equally passionate in their distaste for the place. Does anyone want to say why they think it causes such a polar reaction? Let's try to be respectful of differing view points."

I have plenty of respect for the people who love Hyde - except when they are condescending and insulting towards those who hold conflicting opinions. Unfortunately, as folks can see from this board, that is, with few exceptions, how they react to postings like mine. Check out the alum on the "cowards" thread trying to tell me that I didn't really earn my diploma. That is exactly the sort of judgmental attitude that conflicts with the very priciples the school seeks to develop in its students.
Understand the reaction that comes from the pro-Hyde people stems from the fact that they were lost and found something special there. They feel personally attacked when the school gets slammed. I have no problem with that. I just wish that they could have the courage not to respond with personal insults.

I'm not insulting you Larry, I'm simply stating you should not have graduated with a "Hyde Diploma". And the seniors and faculty are not the ones who should have insisted...it should have been you! Don't you see that by taking the Hyde Diploma, you were saying that you agreed what was going on there. And from this website, it's quite obvious that you didn't. where is the personal insult?! Please tell me!

No, I don't see that. The diploma said that I was living my life by standards of excellence, and I was. It didn't mean that I had to agree with everything that went on there. Don't YOU see that?
