B”H I don’t have a need for these services. I was talking for those that do. I did have early intervention for a kid in the past. In Yiddish.
What you maybe don’t grasp is that there are federal mandates that public schools need to abide by, so I don’t get the distinction you make between public school and the federal government.
Also, you are basically relegating these kids to a life of even more dependency — and more government spending — if they don’t reach their full potential because they’re not getting the maximum help they need even with basics such as feeding and dressing themselves, etc.
You can’t expect a parent to pay THEIR WHOLE ANNUAL INCOME for tuition, even if you technically believe they should do just that.
The whole idea for a Jewish class in a public school setting in Monsey is to avoid having to bus to KJ — which is technically a public school as well. But they probably sing songs about Chanukah and not about… And because they do only special Ed they excel more at it versus a public school that also does special Ed.
And they charge more as well. Have they earned it or do you begrudge this to KJ residents as well?
