Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Hyde Schools

Hyde is even better than when I was there in the 70's

OldHydeAlumni:
I came back to the Bath campus for a few days recently after many years away and was impressed with how things were going. The campus was beautiful and well cared for (with a new addition to the gym building, several new dorms and sports fields) and a new library under construction. I spoke with a few faculty (none who were here in my day) and some kids, and they had a lot of good things to say about what's going on. Kids still screw up and go on work crew to reflect on their transgressions, but the brother's keeper concept is perhaps an even bigger part of the program and I was amazed at how some of the seniors (in particular) took their responsibilities seriously to help younger kids sort things out and stay on track. Still early in the school year, but it seems to be off to a good start. I don't know where all the rubbish I see here on this site is coming from, but I didn't see any of the cruelty, abuse, etc. being attributed to Hyde and I didnt hear it from the random cross-section of people I spoke with. Take what you read on this site with caution, as there are some active and destructive imaginations out there. I hope this gives another perspective to things.

I resent you saying that it is our imaginations causing us to tell the truth about what we experienced at Hyde.  Great that you went for the day and saw all these great things you talk about.  You cannot judge a book by it's cover and you only saw the cover.  Talk to the kids who are no longer at Hyde if you want a true picture.

I have no doubt that you heard very positive things about Hyde.  I'm sure some good things are happening.  There are some good people there who are very professional.  However, I resent your assertion that all of the comments on this web site are "rubbish."  The clear fact is that some Hyde students and families have been mistreated terribly by some staff.  Some staff (not all) have been very unprofessional and emotionally abusive.  It's important to adknowledge this reality.  Perhaps you're not aware of the number of families that leave Hyde because of the unprofessional behavior they've encountered there.  It may be useful to hear what THEY have to say.  That would provide a more complete picture.  Talking only to those who stay at Hyde isn't a complete picture, I think.

Point is that Hyde was very damaging to many kids and families, including mine.
