Warning about Hyde School from an educational consultant
Anonymous:
I am happy that you had a positive experienced at Hyde, but I completely disagree with your statement, "I believe it's the WEAK people who have a problem with Hyde School"
I've observed that it is the weak adult staff who stay at Hyde. Most are either related through blood or marriage, or recovery alcoholics, or parents of kids who have big issues that brought them to Hyde. My opinion is that these staff that stay on for years stay because they can't make it without the security of Hyde. This is the same reason people stay in Cults.
Take a look at the staff who have been there for years! Besides the disfunctional "family", you have mostly overweight, (some obese) unhappy women, some who have never been married, or have not been able to sustain a relationship, gay men who are struggling with living in a world where they might not be accepted, hippies who never were able to leave the 70's behind them, recovering addicts and alcoholics, and the few "functional" staff who only stay for a year or two until they figure out how bizarre this place is!
I admit this is only one persons opinion, mine and many of you might disagree with me, but this is how I feel since I left Hyde 1 1/2 years ago.

I very much appreciate your thoughtful comments.
Frankly all this argument and discussion has worn me out a bit. I don't really know that making suggestions to Hyde is all that great of an idea. For one thing, I don't think they're really amenable to change. For another, I may not be the one to make suggestions - I probably needed another type of school altogether at that age. I think that's what made me, at least in part, so angry about the whole business. My parents were control freaks and they sent me to a school run by control freaks...and all I wanted was to be left alone. Maybe that's why going away to college finally helped me get my life together. But I don't feel so much anger after 100 or so posts on this board and that's a good thing. Like someone said, it's just high school - get over it. Hell, I WANT to feel good about the experience. Me & everyone else that went there went through a lot. And I do miss some folks.
Anyway, thank you for your kind thoughts. I do try to see the good in things - you have to in my line of work. As far as what the Gaulds & the rest of the people at Hyde think, I just hope they listen to what I've said and take it to heart.
