I agree! The posters who seem to be defending Hyde all have the same thing in common. They speak the same Cult like language, they cuss and swear, and they seldom have a mature dialog going!
They say that Hyde builds character and prepares kids for the future. All that I see are a bunch of Cultists from Hyde making the same comments over and over again!
I much prefer my child to be his own person, be taught independent thinking skills, learn respect for his fellow man, be taught in a way that is realistic in todays world! It doesn't seem as though this is what Hyde accomplishes with the majority of the kids who go there.
I urge parents to do a lot of research before they send their children to Hyde. Hyde is not the kind of school to consider if your child has motivation problems, mental health issues, drug or alchohol abuse, or if your teen is going through typical teen "stuff."
