Get the Hydrant mug.A school that bases its education model on character over ability. The student population is a combination of kids who want to be there and kids who do NOT want to be there. The end result is that a large majority of the kids leave Hyde with a better understanding of their capabilities, their responsibilities and an appreciation for their classmates.
I understand how some former Hyde students resent the way they were treated at Hyde. Hyde's approach, although certainly not a cookie-cutter model, does not work for everyone. No system, however flexible, does.
Notice how the Hyde detractors are very passionate in their dislike of Hyde. Passion is a value that Hyde values, even in its negative uses. Turn that passion into a positive flow. Create your own school following your own principles. It's easy to lob grenades. It's more effective to put your principles to positive use.

Hyde School Students A & B are both intelligent, but suffer from mild depression, indifference, lack of self esteem, and have dabbled in drugs and alcohol. During the Hyde experience, Student A decides to take control of their life. Student B chooses to resent it. What does this mean? It means Hyde was able to reach Student A and was not able to reach Student B. It does NOT mean that Student A is a success and Student B is a failure. It means Student A responded and Student B didn't. So Student B needs to look for a different solution.
Then, there is the kid that wants to go to Hyde. Why? Simply put, the Hyde approach appeals to them. It's kind of like why would anyone join the army. And the answer to both questions is that there are certain aspects that are appealing and there is the promise of long term benefits.

If you visit Hyde School, you may get SEVEN—5 fingers and 2 eyes. That’s a hand shake and eye contact…Hyde believes that beneath every rebel spirit lies a true leader capable of reaching amazing heights. Hyde fosters the transition from rebel to leader. We’re not an ordinary boarding school.
