Hyde School, The Most Truthful Informative Post I have Seen
Anonymous:
Your experience IS just as valid as mine and I never said it wasn't. You are right. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions about Hyde and everyone had different experiences there. Some people breeze through, some actually like it, others end up doing drugs, having sex with teachers, going to AA meetings and getting high while out, and others hate the place so much they run as fast as they can.
I personally have gained a lot from this website. It has helped validate the way I felt while at Hyde. It is also nice to see that some parents and faculty have remorse for participating in something that has been harmful for some. Hopefully you saw that post from a former faculty member who speaks of her remorse and shame.
To me what is important is that the potential parents out there be well informed and base their decision on the truth. IMHO getting the typical tour from one of the poster kids at Hyde is not a true example of Hyde. Websites like this are important as well as a good educational consultant. It would also be nice if Hyde would allow potential parents to sit in on a seminar, and also in one of Joe Gauld's meetings. This truly will give parents a clear picture of what Hyde is and what lies ahead for them. Then and only then can they make a smart decision that best suits their family. I don't believe in spending $40,000 for surprises only to find out you can't get your money back.

It is inaccurate to say that the people who participate in this forum couldn't hack Hyde, as someone else wrote.
I graduated from Hyde as one of my class leaders. When I left, I told everyone who would listen how wonderful Hyde was. It was only with time, adult perspective, and education in relevant fields that I realized how emotionally manipulated and damaged I had been as a teen/young adult within the Hyde community. I think it is vitally important that all people associated with Hyde be free to describe their experiences here without being assaulted and called names like "whiners" by others who may have a different perspective. Perhaps shining light on all of our Hyde experiences will make a difference.

You are apperently correct about the academics. Check this out:

I have assaulted no one. One would hope that you moved on from your Hyde education and picked up a vague semblance of a collegiate vocabulary. If you are speaking english as a second language, please accept my apologies.
If you were in Sumner's English class you would not have been allowed a such gross lexical imprecision. I can hear him now reciting The Love Song of J. Alfred Profrock.
"Dare I eat a peach?"
As far a being called a whiner, I would look to the Tibetian Buddist saw "to do is to be." All I have seen is a bunch of gerneralized complaints (whines?). What specifically happened that was bad? Dish some details. I want names of staff. I want dates. Tommy is the only one who has named a specific staff member and a specific incident and that was 30 years ago.
The reason I ask is I don't think you even went to hyde let alone graduate. The graduates I know would not dis the school on a public forum, but we were from the Beach Boy generation:

To Sidney Bechet,
The way you express yourself as a graduate reflects on the school. I wonder if you realize how damaging your comments are to Hyde.
