Hyde / The family Foundation School
Anonymous1:
Yes the family school is THAT bad. You can't go to the bathroom by yourself, 4 minute showers, must finish everything on your plate and if you dont they will make you eat it for your next meal and they wont give you a new meal until it's done, you can get put in the corner, taken out of school all day and be forced to do physical labor, stand all day only being allowed to sit the last 10 minutes of every hour.......the list goes on :sad:

I am a former Hyde student, I lived there for two years in the early eighties, and I did not graduate with a Hyde diploma but received a high school degree.
I wasn't "troubled, drug abusing, or one step away from jail" when I enrolled and I didn't want to go, but I was very unhappy at home and my folks made me go to Hyde. I had been attending a public school that allowed me to hide in the corner and none of the faculty pushed me to achieve or challenged me in any way. I didn't participate in any extracurricular activities. Hyde made me participate in athletics, theatre, and those experiences made me a much better person. In fact I have had a life long participation in club sports and am now coaching High school athletes because I learned what team sports are really about while at Hyde.
My experience wasn't perfect and I still wish I had done some things differently while I was there, but I am a much, much better person now because of my time at Hyde school.
The people who are posting messages here should sign your name to your statements. I have a really difficult time accepting what people say anonymously. To make statements such as I am reading here on this message board, and not be willing to say who you are is cowardly.
State your name and your history at or with the school so people can judge your statements and evaluate the accuracy of those statements based upon the writers' prejudices.

I am glad to hear that you had a positive Hyde experience. Unfortunately, many students don't, as this website demonstrates. The Hyde student body seems to have changed considerably since you were there. The school now enrolls significant numbers of kids with major mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral issues. Many of us question the school's ability to meet the needs of those students.
I understand you want all of us to post our identity. For me there's a simple explanation for my anonymity: I've heard too many stories about kids at Hyde being harrassed when their parents speak out against Hyde or challenge the school's administrators. That's not a risk I'm willing to take at this point; I have lots of reasons not to trust Hyde. I have to balance my concerns about possible mistreatment with my strong belief that people who are considering Hyde need to see these postings. I understand full disclosure would be preferable; I may do that later, but I can't take that risk now. In the meantime, I would encourage anyone who reads these posts to ask hard questions of Hyde staff, talk with parents of current/former students, assess the parents' credibility, and decide whether Hyde makes sense for their child. In my humble opinion, sending a child to Hyde is a serious risk in many, if not most, instances. I have little confidence in the school's ability to meet the needs of significant numbers of its students.
