I hope some of you wil get involved and help fight hyde, i would love to get enough ppl together to get some real publicity possibly evin news coverage. its about time to shut this shame of an intitution down"

"If you build it, they will come."  Remember that phrase in a very famous sports movie?  Start the website and let us know the address of it. I know a lot of people myself who would join in.  This is a good idea in order to warn potential parents and students of the harmful ways at Hyde and also for those harmed by Hyde to be able to get things off their chests.  I look forward to an update from you!  You have the support of many people out there, some who are afraid to come forward on this site, but who monitor it on a regular basis.

When were you at Hyde?  Which campus?  

I fully support your idea of a website that would highlight all the concerns about Hyde that many people have expressed here.  You're right that this information ought to be publicized widely so that parents who are thinking about sending their kids to Hyde have a complete picture of what really happens there.  We were attracted to Hyde because of the all the claims about the school's commitment to values, character, etc.  Although we met a few good people there, it didn't take us long to figure out how abusive some of the staff are, how lame much of the education is, and how the school simply isn't set up to deal with many of the students' problems.  Parents absolutely need to know about all of the big problems at Hyde and what they're setting themselves up for if they go there.

I am a student from Hyde and I still am traumatized by thoughts of the school.  I try not to think about it because it upsets me so much that I wasted two years of my life for something that was a farce!  I don't blame my parents because they too were misled about how the school could help my self esteem!  All that they did was make me feel worse about myself, and try to get me to talk their lingo like a Zombie Cult member.  My parents were demeaned publicity because they are normal members of society without any troubles in their marriage.  One facilitator tried to insist they had a bad marriage even though they couldn't be happier.

Sounds like you might have been there at the same time as me.  Were you in the auditorium when someone stood up and told Mr Grant, (the headmaster) that he was dishonest?  That was the most honest comment I heard in the two years I was at Hyde.

Hyde tried to break me down, but I left instead and ended up becoming very successful in college.  I was one of the few.  Most of the kids who were supposed to graduate with me, either left the school, weren't allowed to graduate, graduated but didn't go to college, or went to college but didn't make it through the first year.  I didn't do well in college because of Hyde, this was IN SPITE of Hyde.  I will never forget the crazy times I experienced there with girls running through the dorm to throw their food up because of bulimia, staff being drunk on the weekends, Mr Gauld acting like a leader of a Cult, Mr Dubinsky the in house pedophile, the kids being able to go off with town locals after AA meetings, and so much more. I got an education all right!  Most kids in my hometown would never believe in a million years that this could happen.

Oh God do I hate going back and remembering those times, but this site is great to get it off of my chest and maybe help save another kid from being shipped there.  I hope you do create the website you mentioned.  Let me know.

It's such a relief to read posts from other people who also had these awful Hyde experiences.  When I read your description I feel like I'm reading many of my own words.  You're absolutely right that Hyde is full of hypocrisy.  I wasn't there for the Grant incident, but I have other stories to report about Hyde students with wild emotional problems that the staff didn't have a clue about how to handle, how Hyde staff openly struggled with their own issues, how the classroom experience was often laughable (it's hard to imagine that some of the staff would be hired at a regular school), etc., etc.  And you're right about the Gauld cult stuff.  If people on the outside could just watch Joe Gauld's REAL behavior and his unbelievable verbal cruelty and arrogance, they'd never send their kid to Hyde.  I too saw parents who had the best of intentions and who were real moral people humiliated in public because they wouldn't buy into the Hyde cult and talk like a Hyde robot.  People who questioned Hyde were often punished (gee, what happened to Hyde's belief in truth over harmony???).  I wasn't there to witness the Hyde teacher who was sexually harassing students, but I've sure heard the stories about how awful this man was and how badly Hyde handled this.  This is the kind of information that needs to get out there about Hyde.

yes i remember when this girl wnt off with anolder man after an AA meeting and came back several days later with a bunch of methodone (synthetic herion)she had procured during her little trip. i also remember having a bunch of my suff stolen out of my back pack when i was on 2/4 and my bag was locked up in deans area (supposedly safe) when i confronted the staff they said it was impossible someone could have stolen my belongings and told me i need to concentrate on my attitude.

i also was on the leadership trip (so they told my parents) to manna island. they sent me there because  
i refused to believe there bullshit, evin after the trip i did not give in to there philosophy.i held tight to my beleifs all through out the year
refusing to assymilate into the hyde cult

i remeber being called out by students who were obviously faking it, and they would confront me about my attitude only minuets after hearing them talk about all the partys and drugs they did over vacation. that place was so hypocritical

does any one remember jd the rastafarian cook who hated the school but needed a job man i spent so many hours talking to that guy during 2/4. he was on of the few great chareters i met there. how about the performing arts director mr edwards (not sure if i got the name right) who left after mccrain reapropriated all the money he had raised for the performing arts departmet.

Yes I do remember the Jeff incident.  I think he was an intern and was also doing drugs besides having sex with one of the girls.  I believe he was fired.  Seems like there is way too many incidences like this that happen at Hyde.  Even if they got rid of him, why does this happen so often at Hyde?
