I would love to hear the outcome of this as our son falls into the very group you are talking about, and has just been asked to leave the school. They gave up on him awfully quickly despite the fact that he does not lie, cheat, steal, engage in sexual activity, or use drugs, alcohol, or tobacco - as most of the students there do - and was doing well academically. The school knew before admitting him that he had a temper control problem, and I'm sure I was quite specific as to the nature of his verbal outburts. To my knowledge, he has had 3 such episodes since November - really very few considering how difficult it is to be new to the Hyde "process" and in my mind, reflected progress! I had also seen progress in other areas with him and had come around to embrace and trust the school's philosophy - despite the odd scene I witnessed with Joe Gauld being rude and condescending to parents who dared question him during an FLC weekend.
Now we are out $35,000, not to mention all the time and money spent going to and fro to school and regional meetings, and looking at our son's sophomore year going down the drain. How ironic that the small Catholic high school he WAS attending seemed so much more compassionate and equipped and willinig to work with him! Sad .....
