Hyde School sometimes makes claims that it doesn't recruit "troubled" teens

-
Hyde likes to change its narrative about its intentions and student body as an institution depending on who its recruiters are talking to.  If Hyde School is "not for troubled teens" like the owners and surrogates of Hyde like to sometimes claim, why have they had thousands of "troubled" teens attend their institution for 55 years? And why are they still to this day on sites like Troubled Teen Directory, Family Sanity, Our Troubled Teen, and numerous education consultant websites, right next to residential treatment centers (RTC's), wilderness programs, therapeutic boarding schools, etc.?

As stated below on an #educationconsultant website:

"Hyde Schools... do not offer any integrated clinical services, since they view the problems of youth as ones of character, rather than as psychological or psychiatric."

Hyde has always actively recruited "troubled" kids with a wide range of diagnoses and issues, while purposely never offering any evidence based services to help them.

Hyde School should be honest about who they are and what they've done, since they claim to value honesty so much.

ON A COLD January night last winter, Joe Gauld, the ebullient, founder of Hyde School, invited to dinner a dozen or so Bath community leaders. He wanted to know what really had poured the city on Hyde, an experimental prop school whose towering goal is to emancipate the public school system. As it turned out, Gauld did most of the talking . . . and shouting and name-calling. Before the four-hour encounter was over; he mode a proposition to the group: school board members, representatives of the city Council and influenti...

HYDE SCHOOL AND THE RUNAWAY: A POSITION PAPER QUITTING DEFINED HISTORY WHO RUNS? WHEN AND WHY
 HOW TO RESPOND
 THE LEGITIMACY OF OUR POSITION Hyde is many things but it is first and foremost a challenge. Plain and simple, this is hard school. Many on the faculty are alumni and can vouch for this from both sides of the desk. Much has changed in our 25 years as a school but the idea of Hyde as challenging place has remained. Some students occasionally want to quit. That is normal. Taking the step from wanting to quit to acting upon it is a serious matter. It is also a family matter. There are two ways to quit. One is to pack up one's belongings and depart the campus - i.e. run away. The other is to refuse to comply with the demands of the program. Both ways add up to the same conclusion: the student has decided to quit on the commitment that was made at the interview. It is importa...
