Hyde School, The Most Truthful Informative Post I have Seen

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---The following is from a letter Joe Gauld wrote. Is he kidding that Hyde School may well be one of the best known secondary schools in America? How funny to still see this mans arrogance after all these years. That 60 minutes show was aired years ago before the negative word got out about Hyde! Good try Joe!!
2. We now have approximately 25,000+ students, parents, and teachers who
experienced a Hyde education at one of our five Hyde Schools, excluding 5,000+
at Hyde-related schools. It is conceivable that 30,000,000+ Americans have seen
Hyde on national TV shows, such as CBS?s 60 Minutes. Hyde may well be one of
the best known secondary schools in America!

This would be comical if it weren't so tragic. This is yet another example of Hyde's delusional thinking about how it is perceived and about the school's influence in U.S. education. Rarely do I encounter anyone who has ever heard of Hyde, even though it often comes up in conversation ("So, where does your kid go to school?"). Yes, Hyde has enrolled a fair number of students since its creation. And . . . an extraordinary percentage of those students leave the school before graduation. What's the total number of Hyde graduates? How many of those students actually graduated from college?
Does Joe Gauld really believe that Hyde is one of the best known secondary schools in America? Good grief. Not even close. In fact, Hyde is better known for its inferior education, controversial program, scandals, and high drop-out rate than for anything positive. Hyde survives for one main reason: There are lots of desperate parents out there who haven't had the opportunity to discover other schools that are so much more impressive than Hyde.

Yesterday my wife and I got a call from another family that left Hyde because of their profound disappointment with the quality of the school. Like us they realized that going to Hyde was a terrible mistake. Yesterday that family was having lunch with another couple that had heard about Hyde and wanted some feedback about whether it would be a good placement for their son.. Suffice it to say that by the end of the conversation the family was talked out of Hyde. The other former Hyde family called us to get names of other schools.
This letter from Joe Gauld is more evidence of the fancy public relations game that Hyde loves to play. Behind the scenes, of course, there are many families like ours that sees Hyde for what it is and were wise enough to leave. I'm glad we managed to warn another family that almost made the mistake of getting in the Gauld grip. Our child is so much better off away from Hyde. Thank goodness we got out when we did.

This weekend I learned about another family that has decided to leave Hyde because they couldn't bear exposing their child to the maltreatment and arrogant behavior of Joe Gauld and several other Hyde staff. One of the parents described in great detail very specific incidents where Joe G. berated parents and made snide remarks that were devastating and humiliating. What is it about this kind of conduct that Joe G. and many other Hyde staff don't understand? Does it not bother them at all that so many parents pick up and leave once they figure out Hyde's modus operandi? Does it not bother them that many families find their lives turned upside down once they figure out they need to flee Hyde? The families I've met who get out of there aren't afraid to take a hard look at themselves and confront their issues. They're not emotional cowards. What they object to is Hyde's special brand of emotional abuse.

Why don't you get these unhappy parents to join this board in order to get the word out? Those who sit quiet never make a difference in the world!

Joe might have started the school for this reason, but unfortunately he got off track somewhere along the way and has lost focus of his own values and moral obligations to kids and families.
I find Hyde to be a toxic place. There are a handful of families each year who walk away happy, but the percentage is very low. You will always find someone who gets hooked on a Cult and this is what Hyde is. Castro has lots of followers in Communist Cuba, but many more want to leave the island. Same thing for Hyde.
