I loved every day I spent at The Hyde School in Bath, Maine from 1999 to 2001.

 It was a good step along the path for me.

Hyde is a horrible program with little to gain other than for people who need to be incarcerated or under very strict supervision.  Even then the kids are not handled in the appropriate manner.  Teachers give out prescription medicine, staff in high positions have been physically abusive to kids, no psychological counseling on campus, and so on!!

Parents be careful.  If you love your child find a good program that has professionals on staff.  Look at the attrition rate of the staff.  This tells a lot about a school.

I wish I could accept your invitation to say nice things about Hyde.  Unfortunately, I'm hard pressed to come up with any nice comments of any substance.  My Hyde experience, and that of most of the people I  was there with, was absolutely horrible.  Here's my short list:

Too many staff who abused us verbally

Too many staff who were young and inexperienced

Too many staff who didn't have their act together

Too many staff who were caught up in the Hyde script and used it in place of their own independent thinking

Too many staff who had no idea what to do in the classroom as teachers

Too many seminars where people "lost it" and staff didn't know what to do

Too many students with big time mental health problems and no staff to help them

Too much time listening to Joe Gauld lecture us

I am so sorry I went to Hyde.  I've been trying to recover ever since.

"people who need to be incarcerated or under very strict supervision"

Interesting that each thread welcomes both cons and pros about Hyde, but this thread is asking for only pro's.  Better than starting a "pro Hyde" thread, why don't you start your own website like Hyde has where you can lie about how wonderful Hyde school is?

Hyde is a dangerous place both psychologically and physically and it is just a matter of time until the entire truth comes out about the sick staff that work there.  They are mostly mentally ill people who don't know how to function in the real world outside of Hyde.  The ones who are mentally stable get the hell out of Hyde within a year or two!

I strongly urge the sincere parents who are looking for a good school to choose somewhere other than Hyde.  There are plenty of good ones out there if you look hard enough.

All the negative that has been said about Joe Gauld, (the founder of the school) is true.  He believes he is a prophet sent by G-d!  Don't throw away your money on Hyde.  If you want a place run by someone like Joe Gauld just search through the internet for Cults.  Cults mostly take donations rather than tuition plus mandatory donations.

By God?  When did he make that claim?

[Anonymous]

He never made that claim.

Hyde doesn't give a shit about this website.
There are three or four families doing the majority of bashing.  Just read all the posts...every ten or eleven there's the exact same bash.  Get a life and move on.

Thanks

I have a life, thanks for the suggetion.  "Move on" there is a cue that I am up for.

[Anonymous]

I appreciate your honesty!

Bye!

Actually I think you are wrong about it only being three or four families.  I think you are right that it started out that way, but in looking at all the posts it looks like some dropped out along the way and many new people have joined.  Yes it does seem like "many" is the word although maybe you are right about Hyde not caring.  Good for them.  I am not sure this website was created for the good of Hyde.  I believe it was created to help future families who research on the web before narrowing their choices down.
