hyde is great

Ms. Lewis was shown a Potemkin village version of work crew. The real thing involved someone being forced to spend a month or so digging his own grave and filling it back in again repeatedly. Or if the ground was too frozen for that, carrying great big logs back and forth between two piles.

It was bigger than a grave Tom. 6x6x6 666: a coincidence? Perhaps Satan is at work!

I am somewhat new to this board and I have don't understand how Hyde School can be this bad yet still be in operation. I have been investigating different boarding schools for my daughter. Glad I found this site. Can anyone guide me to a site that will give honest, realistic advice about which boarding schools are good vs bad?
Thank you and good luck to all of you

You're very fortunate to have found this site before enrolling your child at Hyde. We withdrew our child once we realized there were so many problems there. Sure, some parents like the very controlling environment where they require the family to participate in group-therapy like sessions that are run by faculty. Some parents like being told how to live their lives. It took us about 3 months to figure out that there are lots of very troubled people at Hyde.
Your best bet is to find an ethical, professional, competent educational consultant who really knows these schools. The best educ consultants spend lots of time traveling to schools, interviewing staff, and digging beneath the surface. Many educ consultants we've met refuse to refer families to Hyde; now our family understands why. I'd steer clear of any educ consultant who recommends Hyde; that's a very bad sign.
There are many terrific schools out there. I hope you find one that's a good fit for you.

I just spent some time looking through the entire Hyde staff directory. I can't believe the amount of turnover they've had during the past couple of years. The lack of staff continuity is unbelievable. What really amazes me is how the school hires all these young faculty who quickly end up leading FLCs and other group discussions that are like therapy sessions. How can this school justify putting these novices into those situations, especially when parents and students end up talking about the most amazingly sensitive family stuff imaginable? Do you think the average parent realizes how "green" so many of the staff are and how short their stay is at Hyde? Some people are Hyde lifers, but take a close look at the quality of their personal lives. No wonder they stay at Hyde.
