Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Hyde Schools
Hyde School is doing a lot of things right.

Salient questions and concerns should NEVER be addressed in this forum, as they are only distorted and attacked by your type, who have nothing better to do with their lives. As was said before, why don't you just go away...

Why don't you? :rofl:
I never said I knew all about it, I said I reconize bullshit when I see it. Once again, you ignore relevant questions and go after the easy, ad hominems. You continually show that you've got nothing to add to the conversation except personal attacks on those who disagree with you. You can't refute the points we make so instead you just attack the messenger. That's usually what happens when someone realizes they're losing an argument or debate.

A few people on this site seem to be very negative towards Hyde, but most of it seems like misguided anger. Maturity helps you realize things about yourself and there seems to be lots of immaturity here, often disguised by big words and seemingly concerned rhetoric.

That's great that 60 kids graduated. I wish them well and hope Hyde was a valuable experience.
I have several questions: Is that a total of 60 for Woodstock and Bath? How many kids started at Hyde and left before graduation? What percentage does this 60 represent? Of the kids who left before graduating, why did they leave? I think that will give a more complete picture of who succeeds at Hyde and who doesn't. I'd like to know what Hyde's attrition rate is like and I'd like feedback about what doesn't work at Hyde. Isn't that important too? My impression is that Hyde has an unusually high attrition rate.

That number was for Bath. Don't know about Woodstock, but I think it was somewhere in the mid-40s. You could probably get that info from Hyde in Woodstock. I can't speak to the attrition numbers or your impression of them, but I believe the ones who graduated would speak to their own experience in a positive way. That was the point of my post.

Why is it that anyone that has any criticism about Hyde is automatically labeled as "misguided" or "angry" or "disgruntled" or "not working their program" or "immature" or "haven't looked at their own issues" or "disturbed" or......well, you see what I'm getting at.
Do you people ever answer for your own behavior? I also notice that you guys go after the easy targets here. Kids (or grown adults now) are angry. They've got a right to be. Some lash out and get a little outrageous here, I've got no problem with it....I get it. But there are also people here who are asking relevant questions and y'all ignore those and always seem to find the time to address the angry posts. What about answering some of the salient questions and concerns that have been posted?

Not sure what you mean by "you people" Bonney and not sure I was going after any "easy targets". I didn't say anyone was misguided or angry, I said that in the case of a few negative people, their anger seemed perhaps misguided. Please don't put words in my mouth and twist my post to sound as if I am attacking anyone (as you seem to). I think anonymous might be giving you some good advice...

Misfitparent, you are entitled to your own opinion, but the consensus seems to be that Hyde has harmed an awful lot of families. Yes, they might have helped some families, but your figures are far off. Did you go to school at Hyde? Where do you get your info from? Instead of attacking Anne, maybe you ought to go preach your gospel somewhere else because it is clear you don't know what you are talking about. Give us some proof that Hyde graduated 60 students and that the families are grateful. Look at the alumni list and you will see there ain't too many "grateful" families!! At the same time you are giving us those stats why don't you also give us the stats on the kids who start Hyde and never finish.

Guest, Consensus of whom? The consensus of the people I know seems to be that Hyde offers a challenging and rewarding experience. I don't see how my comments are an attack leveled at Anne, and I don't see where you get off telling me to go somewhere else for noting the number of graduates this year (66 on the program), who spoke well of their experience at their graduation. I might ask you to re-read my comment about misguided anger, as you seem to be supporting it.

These two posts look like personal attacks to me. Questioning someone else's maturity level, dismissing anything negative about Hyde as "rhetoric" or said out of a "lack of maturity", telling me to "just go away".

So, how does Hyde bring about these miraculous changes in their "students"? What's the process? How does the "character based education" that's advertised at Hyde work?
