senior college administrator very critical of Hyde School

(1/3) > >>

Yesterday my wife spoke with a senior college administrator to assess whether that school is a good fit for our child.  During the discussion my wife described our child's experience at the Hyde School.  The college administrator talked at length about the pattern she has seen among students at her college who attended Hyde.  According to this administrator, she has noticed a consistent pattern where Hyde graduates struggle significantly with self-esteem issues that seem related, in large part, to the "shame and blame" culture at Hyde.  Hyde graduates actually talk about that connection.  Granted, some of these students walked into Hyde with self-esteem issues.  Hyde, it appears to many of us, and now to this college administrator, makes the problem far worse because of its shameful culture, arrogance, and disproportionate number of unqualified, inept staff.

Way to go Hyde!  Not only have you developed a very poor reputation among many parents and educational consultants.  Now we know that you've managed to reach the college ranks.  Good job.

Ya know Billy, this is why people question your motives!  Why would a student at Hyde care which college this remark came from?  What good will it do you?  You going to call?  You going to give the info to Hyde so they can follow up?  In this day and age one has to be very careful what they say and who they say it to, which is the reason many people remain anonymous on this board.

I don't find it hard to believe at all that a college administrator would say this.  I know for a fact that my old ed consultant will not refer anyone to Hyde any longer.  Am I going to tell you his/her name?  No way. Doesn't serve any purpose other than alerting Hyde. I think you should be more trusting that some people on this board have good intentions.  Some of us are trying to look out for the well being of kids and are genuinely concerned that someone who does not belong at Hyde will enroll there, and that this experience could be damaging.

Bill: I'm the person who posted the comment about the college administrator.  I hope you understand that I'm not going to name the college.  I have no wish to get the college or its administrator into hot water with Hyde.  I don't trust Hyde; I simply don't trust that Hyde staff have the maturity to handle this sort of thing responsibly.  Too many Hyde staff have shown me how vindictive, short-tempered, and impetuous they are.  

Also, since our family is still involved with Hyde I don't feel comfortable disclosing my identity.  If I disclose the name of the college, people at Hyde are likely to be able to figure out where this message came from.  My distrust of Hyde is so intensely deep that I can't take the chance that my child or we would suffer from that disclosure.  

As you can tell, I think Hyde is a disgrace.  Some people there are decent, but the institution as a whole is an insult to anyone who truly cares about inspiring education and compassionate, yet firm, treatment of teenagers.
