It's doubtful you would call Hyde an "outstanding school" if you read all of the posts on this site.  Grant it, some might be an exaggeration or could be written by kids who had lots of issues, but the majority seem to be written by parents and former students who have a true interest in protecting the public from a school like this.  I personally am appalled at what I am reading and hope that this school will be investigated by the proper authorities.

On that same note, there seems to be a problem with regulating these schools and programs.  From what I read, there isn't a proper governing board as they have in the public schools.  Obviously something needs to be changed in this area, and I challenge each and everyone of you to reach out and try to be part of the solution.

As Sid Smith said of the performance of Hyde students "the Hitler Youth put on a great show too"

I have heard the same rumors, It is hyde's tendency to put themselves above the law. many times they feel that their way of handling things is the best. In some ways this is positive but mostly it is saying to students that Hyde can do whatever it wants, which most of the time is true

parents are so blinded by the "improvements" that their children are making that they trust hyde over themselves

i doubt they would report it with the image they work so hard to maintain.

A hazing situation involving a video camera happened in 2004 with a few of the seniors and an underclassman. It was not reported, instead the students left for a few months and then returned to school, the head of shool viewed the video which to my knowledge included racist sentiments and sexual abuse. nothing significant came of the incident

This is true, high has an extremely high student turn-over rate, none of the faculty have teaching degrees or any background in psychaitry,  and most of the facutly leave after a few years. it is an extremely high stress environment where people are constantly pointing out your every flaw, it take a very strong person to get though without being affected.

Wow, only took you 4 posts to step on yourself.  Can you substantiate your comments?  Not one teacher has a teaching degree?  If not you should change your log-in name and try again.

Ok Mr Hyde, take a look at that post again.  The reference is that no one has any degrees in Psychiatry, not that there is no one at Hyde with a regular teaching degree.

IS IT TRUE ABOUT THE VIDEO AT HYDE??

many of the faculty at do not have teaching degrees, you don't need one to work at private schools, many of them studied completly differnt subjects in college such as bisiness, or had differnt cariers until they were unsuccessful or dissatisfied

You are right, you don't need a teaching degree to teach at Hyde or any other private school, yet the good ones require this in order to be hired. Hyde has never put great emphasis on the better teachers nor have they paid them well.  This is why you will get a substandard education at Hyde.

Recent events make it clear that hyde is rotting from the inside out.  Until and unless the finer element at Hyde have the courage to practice the schools credo, this slide will continue.

I agree with your assessment that Hyde is rotting from the inside (or bleeding badly, you might say).  I think the main signs are the inferior classroom education, the chronic controversies and occasional scandal, and the fact that so many kids need a different kind of school that can really help them with their serious problems.

What's your opinion about the source of the rot?
