For me there's a simple explanation:  I've heard too many stories about kids at Hyde being harrassed when their parents speak out against Hyde or challenge the school's administrators.  That's not a risk I'm willing to take at this point; I have lots of reasons not to trust Hyde.  I have to balance my concerns about possible mistreatment with my strong belief that people who are considering Hyde need to see these postings.  I understand full disclosure would be preferable; I may do that later, but I can't take that risk now.  In the meantime, I would encourage anyone who reads these posts to ask hard questions of Hyde staff, talk with parents of current/former students, assess the parents' credibility, and decide whether Hyde makes sense for their child.  In my humble opinion, sending a child to Hyde is a serious risk in many, if not most, instances.  I have little confidence in the school's ability to meet the needs of significant numbers of its students.

Easy for you to say, "pull your kid out."  How would you feel being 18 years old and all of a sudden being thrown back into public school in your hometown after being at Hyde for a couple of years.  First of all it is unlikely that you can get back into the same grade you were in at Hyde because the education is so different and the public schools do not accept many credits from Hyde.  Secondly it is not easy psychologically to all of a sudden be able to fit into 12th grade at a new school when everyone has already made their friends for years!  You try it if if is so easy!!  You will end up doing like many of the kids have to do from Hyde.  Get a GED!!  Great going Hyde!  How many lives have you ruined?
