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

--- Quote from: ""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'm sorry that you resent what I say, but perhaps you should be a liittle less paranoid and defensive (unless you find that behavior to have really worked well for you-maybe that was part of the reason Hyde was a problem for you). There's lots of rubbish on this site, I don't think anyone rational would argue against that. There's probably some truth buried in there as well.

After reading some of the accusations from people who never even set foot on Hyde's property but are relying on the rants of strangers to form their opinions, I'd say there is some excessive imaginations on the loose here. The picture I saw I believe is true, based on some extensive and revealing conversations I had with some random students, staff and faculty I spoke with. Are there some kids/families who are no longer there and had a less-than-satisfying experience? I'm sure there are. There are many people that aren't very happy with their dining experience at The Olive Garden and won't eat there again. Oh well. But certainly there are a few who seem to return regularly and new ones every day. If only they knew how poorly cooked your lasagna was and how rude your waitress was, they certainly would never eat there.

Thanks for sharing your bad experience, but get over it and move on. Hyde School is serving up a pretty impressive educational and character-building experience from what I saw (albeit an intense and demanding one) and I think they're making an effort to improve it continually. I stand by my original comments. Sorry it didn't work out as well for you.
