The biggest tragedy here that the parents in particular and the community in general allowed the school to close down knowing quite well that many girls will not have a school.
ReplyDeleteWhen the school was in trouble last year some outsider bailed them out. That may of been very nice on his end. But the parents, whose children's education depends on this school, let the school close just like a 'for profit' business, until the bailout??
And now you have 'taa'roo'mous' on other schools?? Where were you when the issue was not so intense? Money ?? You, the parents, could not go out there and raise the funds by 'hook or by crook'?? You wouldn't let your family down like that ??
I'm not saying that the other schools should not 'pitch in' now. But don't complain about others and blame your problems on them.
How about YOU starting a school? You already have 90 students. Oh. Its too hard. Oh.I don't have time. (for own children!) Oh. I'm not in chinuch. Oh. This. Oh. That. +
Sorry, but this situation is not because of lack parent involvement. Rather, the Lakewood VAAD actively and deliberately undermined this school and succeeded in shutting it down. Shame on the VAAD.
DeleteThis school had a long term solution that was turned down by some of the school insiders. Now they should take responsibility for what they brought on to the innocent parents.
ReplyDeleteThis school opened up as a breakoff from Bnos Rivka years ago when a parent in Bnos Rivka was unhappy there. That parent kept the school going so long their kids were in there. Now that they have moved on they stopped supporting the school.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of energy in this town. The whole citifield was arranged here. WHen a mall has to be fought, people got up and did it. WHen a concert for bochurim had to be stopped, there were selfless volunteers, with only shem shomayim in mind, who stopped it. Why is this not equally important?
ReplyDeleteI don't know the parents, I don't know the school. But where is the energy? Why does the askonus gene in lakewood not lead to actual concrete help? Just organizations created to step on each other's feet that don't really do anything except keep their leaders busy.
Rabosei since when is the Lakewood leadership and it's propogabda mouthpiece engaging in JDL like tactics against local officials. We are in galus and this can ch"v lead to harm against innocent yidden. Why are the Rabbonim silent as this התגרות האומות unfolds right in front of of our nose.
ReplyDeleteThese are very scary times and these actions are סכנת נפשות
Same reason as when the Rabbanim in the town didn’t stop people fighting Shuls. Not only did they not stop them but they actually HELPED them fight and stop a Shul from opening. Welcome to Lakewood!
