Is there any news with shuls in wg?
ReplyDeleteSoon... very soon.
DeleteWhere are the Kol Koreh signers when it comes to real issues that have a serious effect on the children in our community? Issues that are being perpetuated by those we entrust to be mechanech our children. First it was the boys Mesivta and now it’s the girls schools as well. These issues are more damaging than Peshutoi shel …… and prob even Smartphones.
ReplyDeletePlease get your facts straight before you comment. I have nieces going into high school so I know what is going on . one school caused the whole havoc . Up until now all the girls schools bent over backwards so that what happens by the mesivtas should not happen by the girls. It only takes one school to destroy it for everybody. I heard that the Vaad does not exist anymore because of what this school did .
DeleteWhich facts are you referring to? Was that school out in Cherim?
DeleteI have a niece going into highschool and I have no idea what is going on - For the last 10+ years there's been a problem with girls not getting into highschool by the time school starts - doesn't sound like a good system to me..
DeleteWhatever you want to say ,it's a system that eventually got every girl into school even when schools had to pack 45 kids into a class to do it. Now let's see if the " non system " will be better than that.
DeleteThe troll from wg is back
ReplyDeleteHow is this right in 2022 to do this again with girls going into high school. All it takes is for the agreed upon date ro be broken and now all achools are in upheaval forced to send answers to the ones they are scared of losing to other schools. How is this allowed???
ReplyDeleteThere was no time or effort put in tplace for 300 girls.
Why don't you the ask the one school that didn't care about anything and ruined it for hundreds of girls for this year and all years in the future ? Why don't you ask the people who gave them the big money that allowed them not to care about anybody else .
DeleteLucky it's not 2022 any more
DeleteThis is what happens when people only think of themselves. If parents would have told this one school that they will not be subject to threats and ultimatums and they will all wait until the agreed upon date to give their answers, then this would not have happened. But parents only think about themselves and don't realize that now there are going to be hundreds of girls without the help of a system that has been in place for many years to make sure this doesnt happen .
ReplyDeleteNice.
DeleteBlame the parents.
Of course, each parent should not look out for their own children, only for other children.
But Menahalim of schools? They can look out for themselves, that doesn't matter. Even though the tzibbur pays them, they can look out for themselves. It's always those terrible parents.
Why should girls wait until after pesach to get answers? Why should they suffer so long? Schools should give answers immediately after interviews like the mesivtas do.
ReplyDeleteSo you are saying that if a school has 500 applications that takes them 6 weeks to process and interview , they should just accept the first ones right away ,and the ones who get the interviews later should be left hanging or forced to go to a school that has less interviews and accepted them earlier ? That sounds like a very reasoned and fair system to me .
DeleteVery simple. There are 60 mesivtas They all only have one class
ReplyDeleteThere only a handful of high schools many with 4, 5 or 6 classes per grade. Many of the high schools have to interview and get information on close to 500 applicants. With the mesivta system, many schools are being forced to give answers even before they have finished interviewing all their applicants because many girls were threatened by 1 or 2 schools with losing their slots. So there are many girls that never even got a fair chance of getting accepted. Under the old system the schools waited till everybody was finished interviews and speaking to the teachers and then they sent out letters at the same time to give every girl a chance to decide . Now they have to decide before even getting an interview in the other school that they may have watned to go to .
Could we term those who caused this rishus?
ReplyDeleteWhat goes on down there with the schools????
ReplyDeleteCall it what you want. The old system wasn't perfect but it at least worked for the most part. No system can be perfect in a town that went from 200 girls in 8th grade 20 years ago to almost 2000 girls now . But I don't think too many people are mekane the one who broke the system without even discussing it with the other schools or the Vaad. Having no system means total anarchy. There will no longer be a common time for applications or answers . There will no longer be any trust between the schools so the application process will keep getting earlier and earlier in the school year ,thus destroying the 8th grade school year . Why don't you ask the elementary school principles if they think that this is a good thing or not for their 8th grade school year .
ReplyDeleteAs separate desperately needed discussion, are one overstuffed one class per grade mestivas good, or would it be better to have larger mesivtas with 3-4 class per grade?
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine?? Some high schools spell “panick” without a k!

ReplyDeleteEretz Yisroel - no mesivta rishum (registration) until after lag baomer. I wish we could have that here.
If you don't write the name of the school, then don't talk. Put up or shut up
ReplyDelete"Major protests in Jerusalem today with thousands converged on the Knesset and"
ReplyDeleteThese protests are rather insignificant compared to the charedi turnouts
And a small group of backers readily supply the whole thing
When you have the media in your camp..
There were fewer people protesting than that voted for the meretz party in the past election.
DeleteWhich school ruined it this year?
ReplyDeleteWe need more schools. Why doesn’t someone open like 2-3 schools? You won’t have any problem with funding just make a few charidy campaigns. I will also support all your schools.
ReplyDeleteLooks like hefkervelt shutdown with along with the vaad.
ReplyDeleteWhat does the system of accepting falling apart have to do with the vaad system of dividing up girls not accepted anywhere.?Just asking since I don't understand how this works.
ReplyDeleteSchools worked together under a system with agreed upon rules. There was a level of trust between the schools and they had constant meetings to try to solve the problems. It wasn't perfect ,but for the most part it worked . Now that this school brazenly broke all the rules after promising not to , there is no trust ,no meetings and no cooperation . Just like by the mesivtas where it's dog eat dog and nobody cares or meets to do anything
ReplyDeleteGo back to your little hole as you are not capable of understanding how anything works.
