Even though there are "Tons" of negative comments, our family decided to schedule an interview, we chose Woodstock. Our experience was incredibly enlightening, our interviewer really was able to grasp where we were as a family and what steps needed to be taken. our twin daughters plan to attend the summer program. We are very, very excited. And so are our girls."

Yes, Hyde is very good at reeling em in!! Just wait until you are in the "real program." You will not only be confronted on your own problems in your family, you will be pressured into attacking other kids and parents. If you don't attack these other parents you will then be told that you are not honest. The whole place is messed up! You will see. Give it time!
If you don't mind me asking, why in the world would you enroll your twins at Hyde? Who recommended Hyde School to you?

"Hi Could you tell me what school you found for your daughter, I was considering Hyde, but after reading this I am rethinking, and looking for something else for my daughter. Thanks."

It's hard to recommend specific schools without knowing more about what your daughter needs specifically. There are so many different kinds of schools that specialize and do better with certain kinds of kids. Some schools are good with kids with learning disabilities, ADD, drug/alcohol problems, psychiatric issues, defiance. Hyde's major problem is that it accepts almost everyone who applies and treats them all the same. Hyde doesn't have special services or programs and many kids have trouble there and leave.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you. We were also impressed at the beginning and our child had a good summer experience. Only after that did we discover the REAL Hyde. Summer Challenge is Hyde "lite." The real bad stuff started in september. Get ready to be confronted if you don't spill lots of personal details about your family dysfunction. Get ready for staff to fill your heads with lots of Hyde terminology. Get ready to meet kids who have big struggles that Hyde won't address. Get ready for the Joe Gauld sermons. "

I want you to be very careful when you go to Summer Challenge. On the surface it makes Hyde look pretty good-some good discussions, performance, etc. But I'll never forget what I witnessed at the end of Summer Challenge when parents visited. A girl's dad figured out that Hyde was the wrong place for his daughter. It was obvious to everyone, and I mean everyone, that she had some mental illness problems. Her behavior was often out of control and she took lots of meds. She had lots of problems during Summer Challenge obeying the rules and staying out of trouble. Anyway, on the last day her dad announced in seminar that he had decided to send her to a different program for kids like her. He was worried that Hyde didn't have the professionals his daughter needed to help her. Later that afternoon I was standing about 10 feet from a bench outside the dorm at Woodstock. I heard an entire conversation between Mr. Felt and the dad. Mr. Felt was going on and on about how the dad was making a mistake sending his kid to another school. Mr. Felt tried hard to convince the dad to keep his daughter at Hyde. He sounded like a salesman. Everything in that conversation told me that the priority at Hyde is keeping kids enrolled at Hyde even when another school is what the child needs. I got to know that student well. There's no way in the world that Hyde was the right place for her. But Mr. Felt did everything possible to keep her there. Was he more concerned about how many Summer Challenge kids would stay at Hyde than he was about what was best for this child who was in pain? It sure seemed that way to me. That's when I began to realize what Hyde is all about. And it's not good.

Why would you post this, The Who? What is your motivation for promoting an abusive facility on a thread that has nothing to do with HLA?
For anyone who doesn't know this person, he is The Who, supporter of all programs, especially abusive ones.
Who, you're behavior is deplorable. Don't think you can hide behind the bag either. Remember your idea of "tagging" anon posts? Well, you're the test case."
