Information about NEASC investigation of Hyde?
Anonymous:
I recently heard from a Hyde parent (I think a former Hyde parent) who told me that the organization that accredits Hyde (NEASC -- the New England Association of Schools and Colleges) -- has received some very serious complaints about Hyde and has spent a great deal of time recently scrutinizing Hyde, meeting with Hyde administrators, and negotiating changes in Hyde's practices, etc. Apparently NEASC has a formal procedure it uses to process complaints about the schools it accredits.
Does anyone have more information about NEASC's investigation of Hyde? Is this information available to parents who are interested in Hyde?
UPDATE: I just checked NEASC's website: http://www.neasc.org. Information about NEASC's complaint procedure is available at: http://www.neasc.org/cis/complaints.PDF

I am afraid the NEASC regulates boarding schools the same way that the Medical Association of different counties regulate doctors. In the case of the medical association, it is an organization that doctors belong to. Rather than trying to protect the patient, their goal seems to be to protect the doctors. I had a malpractice situation once. Rather than suing the doctor, (I didn't want to go through this)I contacted the County Medical Association. They ignored me and put me off when insisting they investigate. They then gave some lame excuse about looking into the matter. I wish the NEASC were different but I am afraid they aren't or Hyde would have been closed down or at least be on probation. According to the NEASC website, Hyde is in good standing! Maybe someone out there has more info on this.
These kids who go to Hyde need to know their rights. They should know that all they need to do is pick up the phone and call the local Childrens Services Dept to report any kind of abuse, which would include sexual, neglect, etc. I once knew a kid at Hyde who was beat up by another and taken to the hospital. Hyde did not feel the need to report this. I also knew a young girl, (15 years old) who ran away in front of a staff member. Again, Hyde did not feel the need to report this and instead watched this young girl go off into the dark without contacting the authorities or the parents.
THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS!! BEWARE if you love your children!

Doesn't NEASC have an obligation to investigate valid complaints? How many people who are distressed about Hyde have shared their views with NEASC? Maybe NEASC would respond if they discovered how many people have been harmed by Hyde's practices. I just looked at the NEASC complaint procedure. My impression is that they take complaints seriously. Perhaps the people who are providing details here about their horrific Hyde experiences should alert NEASC.

They can investigate all they want, but doesn't mean they will do anything about it! Why is Hyde still in business if they truly make their members accountable?
Shoot, all NEASC needs to do is go to the local hospital and see how many kids have been brought in from Hyde in the past, then go to the local social service agencies, police, and parents and ask if ANY of these incidences were reported. When I was there Hyde tried to hide, (no pun intended) all that occurred on campus!

That guy is lucky he got to go to a hospital even. Most time I found Hyde judges whether injuries are bad enough themselves, and usually that means they "ain't so bad". Sports injuries to. Stress fractures that get worse with time. My friends DR at home picked that 1 up and it was 3 months passed the injury even. How fcked up is that? She was called a baby. bad attitude for complaining.
No the parents are never informed of what really goes on there and when you are there your afraid to say it. You dont even know or think that that stuff might even be off. you try to be tuff and that means being tuff on yourself mostly.
