MommyOfTwo-
While I value the relative anonymity we have on this site, “Mrs. Try” and I would be willing to be contacted by you and/or your husband to give more specific information. As I said, I have some shaiches to Prospect. I would of course request that you keep our personal information confidential.
I don’t know what Moshejoe’s motivations are for slandering the school with dishonest and ludicrous inuendo and smears.
What he is saying and the way he is going about saying it clearly violates several tenets of the Chofetz Chaim’s hilchos loshon horoh.
In addition this is a perfect example of makeh rei’aihu beseser – one who hits secretly, in this case attempting to publicly sully the name of a school with dozens of dedicated principals teachers and other staffers.
I say ludicrous as well, because no school that turns out kids as he described would stay in business, be it chasidish, litvish, sefardi, modern orthodox or ultra-orthodox.
I am NOT urging you to send your daughter specifically to Prospect – no school, regardless of how good it is fits all students.
There are many other fine schools, one of which may be more to your liking, or a better fit.
I am urging you to treat Moshejoe’s comments with the same validity as you would an anonymous phone call received in the middle of the night, with a whispering voice on the other end saying the things he said.
