Does the waitress tell you there ia a choking hazard before she hands you the menu? Does the car salesman tell you that 10% of the mortality in the US is due to auto accidents? Does the UNC tell persective students the stats on death by alcohol posioning on the chapel hill campus? I Think not.
Did you warn my that your posts would cause me to become angry and make my blood pressure rise increasing my risk of heart attack and stroke? No you did not. There is the potential for harm in these posts. "How many more Mr Speaker, How many more must die?"
I am sure you can cobble together some post from an alledged parent with some horror story about how some staff did the wrong thing to Suzy and she jumpped of the Carlson Bridge into the Kennebeck in January. But come on, there is risk in every thing. Look at poor gregor samsa. All he did was wake up one morning and he was a cockroach. You can't even get out of bed safely.

Sorry that should be the Carlton Bridge.

How can you possibly compare buying a car and the risks involved to trusting a school to take care of your kids 24-7. You are one sick fellow. This is not about case law, this is about our children and their emotional and physical well being.
Another thing is that car salesmen do not profess to be honest and ethical whereas Hyde TEACHES this life lesson. We all learned the phrase, "the apple doesn't fall far." I never heard that expression in a car dealership but I have heard it over and over again at Hyde. How can Hyde expect this of their students if they are not following it themselves?
The best suggestion I have seen on this board is from Fletch. He offers some solutions that Hyde should talk about at their next staff meeting.
What I see here is that Hyde is presenting themselves as a particular type of institution which they are not. Easy solution is to either change the institution or change the way you advertise it! Stop the crap about the parents taking responsibility. Obviously they have come to Hyde because they don't know what else to do and they are reaching out for help.

You were not upset by Fletch comparing the care of children to car rental or unplugging a toilet. Why should any one pay attention to some one a trasparently biased as you?

Is Hyde Right For You?
We believe that every student, every parent, and every teacher is meant to connect with a deep and special purpose in life. Character development is the key to unlocking that purpose.
The Hyde Promise
Hyde helps students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives. This compass has four points:
1. An explicit philosophy of character in the form of Five Words: Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern;
2. The most dynamic student peer culture in American education;
3. A dedicated faculty that will go to the ends of the earth to help teenagers and families connect with their potentials;
4. The opportunity for parents, the primary teachers, and the entire family to participate and gain individual and collective strength.
Hyde?s Offer To All Families
*
We strive to offer every student and family what we call a top five experience of a lifetime.
*
Those of us who work at Hyde do so because we believe that the world would be a better place if everyone spent some time here. We will continually strive to ensure the legitimacy of this belief.
*
Hyde is a one-of-a-kind place where entire families grow together.
*
Hyde consistently places at least 96 percent of its graduates in four-year colleges. From academic preparation to actual college admission counseling, each student receives boundless personal attention.
