No surprise here! The Hyde School is nothing more than an "Alternative School" for afluent parents who want to send their behaviorally challenged, arrogant, spoiled children far, far away....... A prep school it is not! These are NOT the type of children you want little Sally Sue and Billy Joe bringing home for supper any time soon! They may find a way to make an explosive out of the entre or try smoking the veggies!

Guess you need the student/teacher ration to keep an eye on the little buggers?!?!?

Here's the true story about this place. Perhaps, the most telling comment was; "For many kids, Hyde is the last stop before some terrifying tough-love, boot-camp institution socked away deep in some western wilderness."

These are not bad kids. What is crazy is the "behavior modification" they are subjected to. The Connecticut AG should investigate what goes on at that place.
Hyde School has had "fires" before.

This comment is from a person who obviously knows nothing about Hyde......and lives in woodstock?. This is not a school that parents just send there kids away to. Parental involvement is substantial and required. It is for families who choose not to stick their head in the sand, throw their hands up and just send their kids away. It is for parents who truly care about their child and are willing to make the financial sacrifice, and for some, it is a real sacrifice.
you should walk a mile in someone elses shoes before making ignorant comments my friend.

Thank God for the Hyde Schools.
If you have never been there, and are not a member of the Hyde community, I can understand why you might view the school and its mission with suspicion. It is a very different kind of school, with a focus on character and accountability for kids and their families.
HThis is not a spoiled affluent place to dump your difficult children. It is not a place where you drop them off and write a check, like getting your car fixed. Hyde requires a huge commitment from the families. The student's entire family participates in family education, and each parent is on campus for several days at a time, at least 3 times a year. During that time, everone is involved in very helpful and often life changing family education workshops.
I know this from experience, not just a bias aroused by a news story. My son was at Hyde School, and in the first year, my husband and I spent a total of 50 days either on campus or at Hyde parents' educational meetings sand other events.
The Hyde kids are absolutely wonderful. The difference between them and the kids acting out back home is that they and their parents are working on improving their character and being accountable for their actions. These are not children, they are young men and women who are self aware and committed to a high standard of conduct. I am proud to know them.

Hyde School's system of "accountability" is egregiously flawed:
"...contrary to prevailing educational and mental health standards, name calling, shaming, intimidation, judging, minimizing and humiliation are embedded in the school's belief system and practices; these emotionally abusive behaviors are used frequently and intentionally..."
"...Hyde tends to view mental health issues as "character flaws," not as medical conditions that require research-based interventions. Hyde's decision not to have a licensed counseling team is deliberate, not an oversight; it reflects Hyde's belief system and model."

Hyde School's "focus on character and accountability for kids and their families" does not, apparently, apply to themselves. Where was the "high standard of conduct" when the school was repeated asked to step in and take action in the case of a faculty member's sexual harassment of a student?
Hyde School sued for tolerating and encouraging sexual misconduct:

Woodstock: 2 Hyde School students injured in lab explosion
By JOHN PENNEY
Norwich Bulletin
Posted Dec 17, 2008 @ 03:00 AM
Two Hyde School students were hospitalized with burns Monday after a small explosion inside a chemistry lab, school and fire officials said.
At 8:45 p.m., police and firefighters responded to reports of a chemical explosion that flared while three students were conducting an experiment with their science teacher, Woodstock Fire Chief Tim Young said.
He said two unidentified students suffered “mild to moderate injuries” and were taken to Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam.
“There was no fire when we arrived, but there was a tremendous amount of smoke,” Young said. “It took quite a while to clear the building as dry chemicals were used to contain the fire.”
One student was released after being treated for minor burns; the other remains hospitalized, said John Rigney, assistant head of the Hyde School, in a press release. He said the parents of all students involved were notified and the school is “processing this incident and looking to see what lessons can be learned.”
Rigney said the students were preparing for a science fair. School officials did not comment on what chemicals were used or how the fire started.
Fire Marshal Richard Baron said the incident has been ruled accidental and the case is closed.
