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.
