Just wondering – with so many religious schools to choose from outside the Beis Yaakov network, why don’t those who are unhappy with the Beis Yaakov system just go to another school? There are fine Chabad, Chardal, Shas, and Mizrachi schools.
The Beis Yaakov system is “selective” according to level of religious observance and refined personal behavior.
The first set of grades listed on the report card concern personal character traits: prayer, attitude towards studies, attitude towards peers, respect of elders, respect of property, neatness and cleanliness, task completion, homework preparation, behavior during class, modesty. In each category is a line for teacher’s comments. This is a good chance for personal growth for a child.
Rebbetzen Liebermensh, late wife of Rav Nosson Liebermensh, told me, “my father used to cover the bottom half of my report card and look at the comments on my character traits. If they were good, he would praise me and hand back the report card with a smile.”
We need schools that help the whole child and family grow. Beis Yaakov has high standards. You do not have to attend it if you do not want to.
Like I have said, 30% of the girls in the Beis Yaakov Chasidi of Emanuel are Sephardic.
