Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Hyde Schools
anonymity on this board
Lars:
I haven't posted here in a while, but I thought I'd point something out to the Hyde folks who keep telling people to disclose their real names.
In this day and age, prospective employers often google potential employees to see if they've been posting on the internet in blogs or discussion boards. Guess what? Even successful graduates of Hyde may not want to associate ourselves with the place. I'm a successful graduate, but I've achieved success in spite of Hyde, not because of it. The place is an embarrassment to me. Also, when the school figured out who I was, they actually contacted me and later mentioned it to my parents in a fundraising appeal. Hyde does not respect anyone's privacy and I don't want anything to do with the place. Forunately, in my profession (law) and most others, nobody cares what you did in high school. Still, I'd rather not have my name associated with the place. So to all the jerks trying to get people to out themselves, get a clue. Life is not a Hyde seminar.

I agree with you Lars. Although I respect those who wish to disclose their identities here, I also fully understand that some people have been burned by Hyde so badly that they're not willing to disclose their names. You've also pointed out other reasons why someone might not want to take the risk. Some of us are still affiliated with Hyde and don't want to risk repercussions while we still have the connection. At the same time we are determined to let parents who are considering Hyde know about our negative experience. Of course, those who have had good experiences should feel free to post too.
Lars, are you saying Hyde contacted you after you started posting on this website? Are you saying Hyde is monitoring this website?

Thanks, Lars. I appreciate your comments. I had been concerned that if I revealed too much about my identity there would be repercussions, and you confirmed that.

This is just another hypocrisy with the Hyde School. They believe we should post our names on a public board, yet they preach about privacy. It is all about what is best for the Hyde School, not the true principles that Hyde is supposed to stand for. Like others have said, the principles only apply to those outside of the staff and administration! Good riddens Hyde!!
