The reason kids don't graduate is because Hyde is hard. It challenges you. It challenges your family. And some people aren't willing to "go for it"
I went in the old days...today this generation of parents is even worse...
There's a great number who figure their life is hard enough..why should they deal with all this Hyde shit....A lot of them are contributors to this site.
My relationship with my parents is amazing...I owe it mostly to Hyde. Mybrother is very successful. He didn't "need" Hyde, graduated public school...went Ivy and on to Law school...does well, happy family, but my relationship with my parents is so much deeper than his! Hyde was very hard. But it was worth it!"

I'm genuinely happy for you that you had a good Hyde experience. It sounds like you worked hard and got a lot out of it. Unfortunately, I worked hard and had a terrible Hyde experience. Maybe we had different staff to deal with. I was with too many people who really mistreated students by yelling at them and humiliating them. I knew lots of students who really had a hard time dealing with Hyde becuase they weren't getting the help they needed for their anorexia, drug problems, and all that. I guess every group of students is different, and maybe the campuses are different. Hyde was a very unhealthy place when I was there. I also knew kids who ran away.

We still had a bit of the humiliation when I was there "way back" most of it came from Seniors who really ran the school.
Also, it sounds like your Hyde experience was in the last ten years when there were so many more kids dealing with drugs, psch and other disorders. They were in the minority in the 70's and early 80's.
We you on the Woodstock campus? If so, I know who you're talking about on the faculty who is abusive....does it rhyme with Splurphy?

Yes, my expereince at Hyde is more recent and it sounds like the school now gets many more kids dealing with drugs, alcohol, and psychiatric problems. I have a feeling that's why Hyde doesn't work for so many students. Their "old" model may not be so good for the "new" type of students.
I wouldn't say all the staff are abusive, but there sure are some who are. One of them does rhyme with "Splurphy" and there are others too. Mr. Gauld is one of the worst and in some of the seminars I was in (FlCs) some of the alumni parents were really full of themselves and abusive.

Had to laugh at your assesment of alumni parents! So true! These parents who need the crutch of Hyde School after their kids graduate are just like some parents who fell for Jim Jones and his preaching! I had one alumni parent in two of my seminars who sat there like he was above everyone who was there. Sat there judging everyone as though he "had gotten Hyde" but we were imperfect parents who not only did not know how to raise our kids, but insisted we all had deep dark secrets in our past that we weren't sharing. He put so much pressure on us that we almost felt like we had to make up a scandal in order to satisfy all at Hyde. How sad it is that a grownup behaves like this at the prodding of Joe and Malcolm Gauld along with the other administrators at both Hyde campuses.
For those of you parents who want to have someone convince you that you had a horrible childhood and this is why your child is messed up, (the apple doesn't fall far)then by all means, enroll in Hyde otherwise run as fast as you can and consider yourself lucky!

When Joe's book came out, I recall thinking that if I read the book, without having known him and lived through the Hyde experience, I might be ready to buy into the whole thing all over again. Scary thought.
