HYDE SCHOOL Questions about Finances

A quick, revealing snippet about me: I am a professional journalist. This website is terrific, and will be even more effective if the experience and wisdom it captures is morphed into a series of articles that yields a carefully balanced, rancor-less, portrait of the Hyde School--- especially if it results in the best elements of Hyde rising to the surface, and the eradication of the most damaging.

I share your wish for a series of in-depth articles that yield a balanced, thoughtful assessment of Hyde. That's the only principled and fair way to go about this. My personal belief is that Hyde is so fundamentally flawed and toxic that full exposure from every angle will lead any reasonable person to conclude that they should put as much distance as possible between himself/herself and Hyde. The voluminous, detailed, and incriminating tales on this website, from diverse perspectives and vested interests, should be enough to scare off anyone who considers Hyde as an option.

"You are one of so many who have lost your tuition dollars after been kicked out or having left for other reasons. Hyde pockets a lot of money this way. They also are known for holding a student back for at least one year before graduating. They tell the family, "he is not ready to be a senior" but in fact it is another way of keeping the family at the school and the $$$."
This happened to me. I didn't flunk academically, but was forced to do a second junior year because I wasn't "ready to be a senior" (read: drunk the Kool-Aid). And my parents fell for it.
Believe it. Although I was an underachiever academically (the effect magnified by their atrocious grading system which gave equal weight to "effort"), I still passed everything and scored a combined 1380 on the SAT (That's on the old scale - today that would be around 1500). And they convinced my parents to make me do another junior year. I'm sure that didn't help when I applied to college.
Another reason (among many) that I won't ever give a f^%$&^g dime to that place.

I'm doing quite well now. Freed of their oppressive grading system (and oppressive everything else), I did very well in college and went on to law school. I specialize in criminal litigation and have pretty busy practice. I'm married to a beautiful women and have two great kids. My wife is disgusted with many of the things I had to go through and agrees that we will NEVER send our children to a place like that.
