What do our children most want from us? As parents, we can misread this. Our children may be telling us to leave them alone, or they may want us to "trust" them more and back off. We tell our parents that their children want us to inspire them. They may not even know they want this from us. However, their desire to be inspired may well be the strongest yearning they have, the greatest hope they have. We will not inspire them with our achievements. It will be done through sharing our struggles, reaching for our best, and modeling daily character.

Hyde neither inspires nor influences; it fosters psychological dependency. From the moment of its founding, Hyde has greatly exaggerated and inflated the evils of the American family, youth culture, and educational system into a vast and interrelated culture that alienates youth from any deep sense of purpose in life. The promulgation of this myth justifies and encourages the creation of an alternative education. Unfortunately, Hyde offers no real alternative. Hyde's educational program lacks intellectual sophistication and doctrinal coherence; it does not possess the weight and power, historical, intellectual or organizational, to replace the existing educational system. Courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity, and concern amount to no more than a few scattered, insubstantial, and even unrelated principles that owe most of their apparent coherence of teaching and organization to the preconceptions and writings of the Gaulds themselves.
My main criticism of Hyde, however, is that it is a persecuting culture. The monolithic student, parent, and peer culture Hyde creates within its walls, in opposition to America's "dysfunctional" culture, stamps out diversity, heterogeneity, free speech, free thought, and indeed courage, integrity, leadership, curiosity, and concern.

Nicely written. It is good to see a Hyde Alum that has gone on to a good Achievement Culture Liberal Arts School and learned to mold coherent thoughts into well written prose.
I think this deserves a response from the Hyde community. Got anyone that can write nearly that well?

I was using steroids. As a writing aid I sometimes copy out a passage, and emend it until my idea is expressed. It helps me to learn and develop new styles. Where authorship is an issue I am careful to emend until not a trace of the original remains. I would probably deserve a yellow flag for plagiarism for submitting the above post under my own name.
