Several days ago I was chatting with the guidance counselor at the middle school that one of my kids attends (not my Hyde child). The counselor was talking about how she educates parents and families about boarding school options. She has a display case with lots of materials from boarding schools throughout the U.S. The counselor believes in character education. During the converstation she told me that she has heard so many negative reports about Hyde and its harmful practices that (1) she removed the Hyde material from the display and (2) plans to actively discourage parents from considering Hyde. The information from this website and other sources is definitely having an impact. This is but one example. The word about Hyde is getting around.
