Problems at Hyde School

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---I went on the Hyde website recently and see that they are still misrepresenting themselves saying that 98-99% of their graduating class is accepted to a four year college. The inference is that this percentage of students go to a four year college. Those of us who have been through Hyde know this not to be the case. Is this called "false advertising?" Shoot, half of my class are still loosers and this has been many years since I graduated! Some are working in bars, some not working at all, some on drugs and very few completed a four year education or have gone on to careers that can support a family.
What happened to all that "Truth over Harmony" that was pounded into our heads everyday? What a joke.

What you're saying is exactly right. I think Hyde staff are masters at spin. They know how to project an image to try to seduce desperate parents. Now that I know Hyde I know that underneath the fancy exterior is a lot of slime. It's comical to read Hyde's published materials and compare them with the reality. I think you're right that Hyde misleads people. The claim about college enrollments is just the tip of the iceberg. Parents who are seriously considering Hyde should talk to people like us who know that much of what goes on there is rotten at the core. At Hyde it's Truth over Harmony except when it's not convenient for Hyde to be truthful. Hyde can't afford to be truthful about the large number of immature, emotionally abusive and incompetent staff and the arrogance that permeates the school. How Hyde survives is beyond me.

Here's another example of Hyde hypocrisy. I've heard staff tell kids over and over again that they're phony and too concerned about their image. Uh . . . sounds a lot like what Hyde does. Like you said, Hyde is consumed with projecting a rosy image in spite of what many of us know to be the truth. No wonder so many of us see right through Hyde's hypocrisy. The best example is how Joe Gauld talks about the importance of character and then acts like a flaming jerk who yells at people and shames them. Now that's the kind of role model I want for my kid. Not.

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Do you have anything interesting to add or are you going to continue to put down the posters who do have something legitimate to say?
What is your association with Hyde? How do you feel about Hyde School? Do you know why there is such a high turnover of faculty? Would love to hear a reply to these questions rather than your sarcasm

Sadly, like yourself I have nothing new to add. Again like you, I can only offer criticism.
My connection with Hyde is that of a former student. How do I feel about hyde? I liked Hyde. Why does Hyde turn over staff? They pay shit to entry level staff. Why do they do that? To pay for Joe's golf outings to St Andrews I suppose.
There is a whole range of ways to look at any experience to suggest that there are just two is a notion that is worthy of a few acirbic remarks. I look at Hyde sort of the same way I look at the relationship I had with a girl I meet there, with border line personality disorder. I have fond memories of her but I am glad she married some one else.

Damn Neil, I'm a fan (of your posts). This is the craziest website. I come back every six months or so to look at it and its the exact same stuff (and has been since it started), mostly from the same people over and over. Very black and white. Thinly, to not so thinly veiled anger. Self-serving claims, with more rumor and innuendo than you can get on Jerry Springer. Complete lack of ownership by almost all-anonymous posters. Mostly just trash and drivel, trying to be erudite.
I would much rather read gd lyrics (RIP jerr), but occasionally this site is almost as entertaining, and now I can get both!

I just read a bunch of postings on Facebook from former Hyde students. Wow, these are not happy graduates. A number of the former Hyde students comment about problems at Hyde with student misbehavior, enrollment issues, etc.
One of the postings said that Tom Lord was fired from Hyde. I don't know if that's true or not. Does anyone know the facts?

He was not fired, just that his contract was not renewed for the 2006-2007 year because of management changes and some housecleaning of attitudes that were not constructive.
