Whenever I talk with other Hyde parents I hear story after story about their children's mental health problems and histories. It's a constant, consistent theme. Hyde students without a diagnosis seem to be more the exception than the rule. Is this a scientific survey? No, I'll grant you that. Is the anecdotal evidence, which I've now seen for several years, powerful? Absolutely. Hyde staff themselves admit that the percentage of the student body with mental health diagnoses is substantial and has increased. The fundamental problem is the extraordinarly poor fit between Hyde's model and these students' needs.

Hydes students are not the only ones who have mental health problems. A huge majority of Hyde staff also have psychological disorders! I agree with the poster above.....Hyde needs to revisit their model

And what does all this prove Mr Sue? I don't care if the whole world is crazy. You are missing the point. Hyde describes themselves as a college prep school whose model is based on character. Hyde also sells parents on the idea that if you follow the Hyde process, all will be well! Those of us who went through Hyde know that Hyde sells you a false bill of goods and Hyde cannot help many people no matter how closely you follow the Hyde rules and principles. Instead of accepting 98% of the students who apply, Hyde needs to be more honest with themselves and potential parents and recommend other schools which have the ability and credentials to help.

my point is that 20% of the us population suffers from some form of mental illness. Many great people were/are mentally ill. What is so great about normal? To quote on of my favorite Canadians: "the trouble with normal is it always gets worse"
G Bernard Shaw rightfully observed that "reasonable men adapt to the world. Unreasonable men expect the world to adapt to them, therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men" As I have said before,a reasonable sane man would not have founded Hyde on the premise that the world of education need to change. Just because you have mental heath issues does not mean you are wrong or unfit for a certain type of work. Funny there was a piece on Winny this morning. They said a reasonable sober man would have concluded that GB was doomed, fortunately Winny was neither of those two. They played the Blood sweet and tears speech. Very moving.
The israel air force pilot training has something on the order of 98% success. They has a scientific sscreening process. The US air force has something on the order of 10%. You meet the basic qualification, you want to give it a shot you get a 1 in ten chance. Very democratic.
So I think that just because people are crazy and your chances are not good is no reason to shoot a process down. That is my point.
