Oh please, do you think that people will think Hyde is a great school because somebody ocassionally comes on this board and says things like, "Hyde is great" or "I love Hyde."
I think a person can find some good in most anything on this earth. The problem is that there are some desperate parents out there who truly need the help of a good school or program. They need to know ALL that Hyde has to offer as well as it's limitations. It is not only a big financial investment, but an investment of time, emotion and energy for the entire family. Hyde needs to be more honest about what their capabilities are in helping. Someone from Hyde will now say, "what you get out of the program is up to you" but in reality it is much more complicated than this. If you simply have a character disorder then maybe Hyde can help, but if there are true medical issues, ADD, eating disorders, psychological disorders, Hyde is not the most appropriate place for your child nor does Hyde tell you this.
I simply ask that Hyde be more honest about this when enrolling a family rather than taking the money and when it doesn't work out, say "bye bye." This is not "honesty" IMHO.

Back at you. A robin, a spring does not make. A bunch of post on an obsure web forum does not a bleeding PR wound make.
BTW I do love Hyde even thought I agree with some of the things I have seen posted that are less then flattering. I have posted some my self. To me Hyde is more then Joe or any of the bozo staff. It as the place and the time and the people that I was there with. When you say Joe is a looney that chews tennis balls, it is hard to disagree. I think this old supertramp song expresses my thoughts at this moment:
So you think your schooling?s phoney
I guess it?s hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree
Right, you?re bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you?re bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Ha-ha you?re bloody well right
You know you?re right to say
Yeah-yeah you?re bloody well right
You know you?re right to say
Me, I don?t care anyway!
Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You?ve had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you?re bloody well right... etc
Except for the hush your face part. Rock on Garth with your Hyde sucks riff. Play it til it satisfies your soul.

Hmmmm. Let's see.
1. You effectively outed youself by providing tons of details about your life that made it obvious who you were. (Didn't you even provide your own name on here at one point? I haven't looked back to check.)
2. It's my understanding that Hyde contacted you as a way to reach out to you and see if you were open to a dialogue.
3. Hyde contacted your parents for fundraising, and in the course of the conversation, mentioned they had spoken with you.
So where is the lack of respect for privacy? You outed yourself. They called you to talk about it. They called your parents in the ordinary course (fundraising, where you would be natural subject of the call, just like any fundraising of this sort).
Anyway, I'll bet it would rock your world to learn that Hyde contacting you was based on compassion and concern for you.
Point is, for some it may be helpful to out themselves. For others, not so much. Its a personal decision. But make no mistake, this is a public forum, and not a private AA meeting, as someone else suggested.
Hyde's actions could be consistent with either (a) a school so terrified by this board that they will stop at no lengths to put an end to it, or (b) an institution that cares about its alum, no matter how disgruntled.
You seem to have chosen (a), but provide no backup for that.
On good information, I happen to believe it was (b).

So, asshole, which campus do you teach at?
I don't care what their reasons are, they have no business bringing it up with my family. If you're too clueless to understand that, you're not even worth responding to. You missed the point of my original post as well...who the hell wants to have a potential employer finding out that you've been involved with such a fucked up place?
You might want to take your foot out of your mouth before it chokes you.

Hey,
It is good that you are getting in touch with your feelings. Let that anger out.
If I saw you write a letter to the editor and I knew your Mom, I might say "did you see that letter to the editor Lars wrote" What is wrong with that?

If I wrote a letter to the editor, I'd sign my name to it. And you didn't answer my question, which campus do you teach at? [ This Message was edited by: Eudora on 2006-04-11 18:28 ]
