Academics at Hyde
Proper therapy and medication, not their "seminars," turned my life around. And I came out of my shell in college, where I realized how crappy Hyde's academics were. Hyde actually ruined my chances to get into some colleges because of their grading system. You would get two grades, achievement and effort, and the two were averaged together. I'd get high achievement grades, but low effort grades because they said I wasn't a "leader" in class. I think they set the system up this way to help some kids who didn't have the intellect, but it really hurt a student like me who didn't fit their mold. Fortunately, I obtained a very high score on the SAT (and the dumb schmucks on the Hyde faculty couldn't figure out how). Even so, my high test score combined with my mediocre grades convinced some colleges that I was an underachiever. In college, I could learn my own way, just sitting back, enjoying the lectures & getting A after A. Ironicall
