"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 ....."

You do not need to "be out $35,000" unless there is much more than you are saying. There are legal ways to recoup this money"

Can you offer practical advice about the best way to challenge Hyde legally? Names of lawyers who have experience doing this and know what Hyde is all about?"

I would be willing to bet you signed an agreement that waived your rights. They can be delt with by a good lawyer. Hyde probably settles these things out of court and requires a non -disclosure agreement. ISn't there a lawyer on this list that is a disgruntled grad? He could tell you how to network to find some one that knows the ropes. I bet it has been done before.

Yes, I think Hyde settles these lawsuits quietly and puts tape over parents' mouths by requiring them to sign nondisclosure agreements in exchange for money.

Hyde is a business. A fairly sucessful one. When confronted with the likelyhood of being brought into civil court it hires a lawyer. Hydes lawyer speaks lawyer speak to the plantiffs lawyer. Perhaps there is one or two rounds of discovery. There is lawyer posing and sabre rattling then they cut a deal. I believe hyde was in a position like this in the not too distant past in the nutmeg state.

I said "believe." A belief is just that. I have no direct knowledge. I am not claiming it as a fact. That is why I said belief. I am not a lawyer. I have played one, so I know enough to chose my words in these matters.
