Requesting Parents' Assessment of Hyde School
Anonymous:
It would not surprise me that people like Mike and myself who made it all the way through, but resisted in some way have better long term out comes then the diploma holders. Of course we will never know this because Hyde refuses to quantify out comes. Hyde had blinders on to the alumni community until some one realized it was a source of cash.
The thing that concerns me is the apparent lack of introspection on the part of the Hyde in relation to it's process, as witnessed by the fact that Joe is allowed to roam and randomly screech at parents and students. I was myself the victim of those irrational tirades.
I know that is was my fault that I did not see the verbal abuse as an opportunity to grow.
In retrospect Hyde failed me and my family in it one size fits all approach. My concern is that it will continue to fail families that need help and do not respond to the Hyde model. Because they have a monetary motivation to keep the enrollment up, will they tell you straight away that it will not work? After my years at Hyde I was told I would be dead shortly because I was still so screwed up. Oddly, no one bothered to offer this little of wisdom tid bit until the money ran out.

as another introvert I would say is is harder to come to terms with the place later in life that the typical extrovert bootloking typical hyde "graduate". I wanted the approbation of peers, parents, teachers, ect, I was 15, impressionable, and sensitive to criticism. I lacked the adule internal fortitude of you other Cool Hand Lukes on this page that made it through with your pride intact...I tried to fit in despite my feelings that it was not my unique potential to do that stuff. I sang my ass off , I wrestled for hours every day, cut weight while in my growing years of life, shunned academic achievement, and yes participated in hydespeak in the seminars if I had to. Now I cringe at the thought of what I did, ...It was like I was abandoned on the island of misfit toys and those bastrds Santa and Rudolf never showed up. And now, I need forgiveness.

Don't beat yourself up too much over this, Fifth. We all tried in our own ways to do the best we could. It takes all kinds to make a world. And in the end, the only thing that really matters is love. ::boohoo::
The criminal thing is that not only were mistakes and egregious acts of emotional destruction carried out by so-called professionals 30 years ago, but this hapless experiment continues to this day.
