It's getting to be that time of year again, when Hyde "takes stock," and purges all ye of insufficient character and bad attitude...  Of course, this can be devastating for some, if not all, so thusly judged.  I've always wondered just how Hyde picks the unfortunates, as sometimes the choice appears not to comport with reality.  It would appear that there are personal reasons involved, that have nothing to do with either so-called character development or academics.  I was discussing this with another member of Fornits, who has researched the Industry for years, and who posts regularly on Hidden Lake Academy.  This is what that member had to add:

--- Quote ---Same MO at HLA and others. HLA dumps kids right before graduation. It's a scam. They don't want to tarnish their 'success' stats. Many kids are there on scholarships and if they don't grad, their parents have to repay that 'gift'. Other's it's just a slap in the parents face. HLA has as much disdain for the parents as they do for the kids. Several parents are fighting legal battles to get refunds. Talked to many over the years in the same position.

Here's an interesting tidbit of information re. Hyde DC's 100% college acceptance rate:

--- Quote from: ""bill procida"" ---...and as for the hyde d.c. school, seniors can't graduate there until they are accepted into a college. that might change, but they have a 100% acceptance rate, obviously due to that criteria for graduation.

Is this even legal?  And what happens to the student who wants to defer college for a few years?

Anonymous:
when we met with studetns and faculty last week, the students didn't like that. they are thinking about changing it. they can differ, but they have to apply. a lot of kids there are so convinced they can't get into college, so they have to go through that college process. same at the boarding schools .i don't approve that they shoudl HAVE to get accepted. that's kind of out of their control. i ho;pe they change it, cuz it's not fair and is a lot of pressure on those kids.

Well, this is some cheesy fucking way to artificially boost your numbers!  Think a REAL school would have to resort to such underhanded tactics?

I think it is pretty borderline illegal at the very best!

Ursus:
If a student makes it known, purposefully or inadvertently, that they wish to pursue goals other than college immediately upon graduating, does this set them up to join the ranks of those purged in the weeks prior?

How about some statistics, Hyde!?  I have never known a place to be less competent about supplying statistics.  Most schools would have such information at the drop of a hat.  Perhaps Hyde realizes that their numbers compare less than favorably, and deliberately obfuscates such information!
