No, I did not have any sex ay Hyde. Now, lotion bottles ran scared and I had a few kissing/petting things going on with a girl or two. But looking back , I think I was in the minority. I escaped there unfettered (Gracious a Dios). I think my inability to fit in here on Fornits (and at Hyde) is that Hyde was a bad experience in my life partly because of the kids that got sent there. And I was forced to live with. I was there during the time when ed legg thought that he could transform the place into a school that attracted normal kids. I was part of that failed experiment. There were normal kids there mixed in with the more typical disrespectful acid trippin brats, repressed alternative lifestyle teens, and hardened criminals. not to mention the "teachers" . I have not seen hyde nor hair of a single Hyde school kid, teacher, or parent in 25 years...and other than wanting to get a few things off my chest, want to keep it that way...thanks all ..

Sounds like you fit right in (here)! Hope you stick around.
I, similarly, have scarcely seen anyone from Hyde in over 30 years. About 2 years into that span, I ran into a former classmate purely by chance, and about 3 years after that, same thing (different classmate). Other than that, nada. Too traumatic.

Oh so YOU were THE normal kid. Really there were a bunch of "normal" kids there. How the hell did Hyde con their parents?

my mom was smitten with the America's Spirit kidzbob infomercial they were forcing the students to act in. This farce was done, In place of normal school work, I might add. She also was into alanon, and the AA like group therapy sessions may have helped her. She learned the real deal later, but by then it was too late for me, I needed to finish and get into college. I had athletic accomplishments and good SATs. I did not get into Swarthmore, but they sent a professor over from Bowdin to interview me...that was a trip , trying to explain what a "growth grade" was to a real educator and why mine were'nt so good. I got into a similar, less "artsy" place in the same area. In college I struggled a little with basic stuff like english, and drinking, but felt alive , free, and liked. I have loved life eversince. The thing alien to me while at Hyde. I guess that is why I feel it necessary to pound on the place...I was unhappy and nervous the entire time...the proverbial long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs

Hi Tim, yeah, I was semi-normal. Had problems with my parents, had run away previously due to undue strictness and corporal punishment, and had spent some time in JuVie and a mental hospital for that (hospital/insurance scam, popular at that time, 'course I didn't know that then). But, totally straight, zero drugs, zero cigs, no drinking, no sex. In fact, I was caught for running away because I didn't want to interrupt my schooling, so they knew where I was during the day! LOL! So I was semi-normal, albeit traumatized. After my stint at Hyde, I was even more traumatized, and I honestly feel like I have lost most of my life due to them.
See my post towards the end of 'Thoughts About Hyde' re. types of students Hyde recruited at different times, i.e., their most varied marketing strategies. This mini-history relates to Bath, and is incomplete. Perhaps you might care to add to it with your experiences and observations? In case I screw up linking it correctly, it is towards the end of page 4.
