אבינו מלכנו חמול עלינו ועל עוללנו וטפינו
Its Erev Yom Kippur school is basically over until after Sukkos there are still some girls that are sitting at home waiting to get in to high school. Its time that action be taken and the feet dragging come to an end. Let us quickly put this episode behind us and we should be zoche to a gmar chasima Tova.
Is the new school closing up?
ReplyDeleteYour headline is very misleading. According to very reliable sources most of the kids still sitting out could have gotten into more than one school had they applied. Some of them could have probably gotten into more than 2 schools if they would have applied. According to your logic there are probably another 150 kids who are not accepted to their school of choice so lets call them not accepted also.There are also probably 200 elementary school kids who were not accepted to the school of their first choice so maybe make a headline thst there are 350 children not accepted to school.
ReplyDeleteThere are kids who listned to the vaad rules and applied to 4 schools and were not accepted to any of them. Why punish the kids or the parents who did not follow the vaad rules. There are kids who the principle is willing to take but the vaad is pressuring as the school they dumped all the leftovers in may fall apart.
DeleteI agree .The feet dragging of the parents who are hurting thrir children must stop. There are parents who could have gotten into 3 or 4 schools but they only want to go to a fifth.
ReplyDeleteYou are confusing the schools and the vaad. The schools have nothing to do with the vaad rules. If somebody didnt get accepted to a school they should have done the responsible thing and go to one of the other schools that had room for them like everybody else did. If they are akshanim and want to destroy their daughter in the process it is purely their fault. This hass nothing to do with the vaad. It is all about parentsbeing akshanim for no good reason
ReplyDeletethere is enough blame to go around from both ends.
ReplyDeleteGirls deserve to go to a school that bests suits their needs. Why do askanim take a one size fits all approach just to get all girls into school and rid themselves of any problems. The point is to have mechanchim on the vaad that will look at each individual girl and place her in a place where she belongs. To lump everyone together in a new school that is falling apart is not the solution.
ReplyDeleteAt the end if the day it is a parents achrayus to make sure his child is in a school. There are some parents who will keep their daughters single till age 35 because nobody is good enough for them. Same type of parent who keeps their daughter home because no school s good enough. Your job is to take a shiduch from those who want you when your daughter is 19 and to take a school from those schools that accept you.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right that girls deserve to go to a school that suits their needs. The problem is that unlike for boys where there are many different types of mesivtas, for girls we do not have a high school that suits the needs of a lot of girls. So its the parents and community fault for not creating those schools.
