anon- why so much anger at the kley kodesh? Frankly, why Rebbeim make less then a garbage man? Tuition breaks are part of their benefits. Why must the people who teach our kids make absolutely nothing – chas v’challiah, make more then one of us?
Kollel? How many kollel guys do you have in OOT? Again, it’s a community thing; the community brings them, offers them high salaries and breaks to build up the community. Again it’s payment. If between their salaries, wives salaries & tuition breaks they can afford something you can’t is that so horrible? Why is that wrong?
Aries- again, communities without kollel don’t have fiscal problems? No no no.
Again, we are the schools. We need to pay them. That’s what it boils down to. If we feel we can do better – then let’s go do it, or finance it. Why is it THEM? (As always, with real respect!)
Chose to kick kids out due to unbendable rules?
Is that really the case all the time?
Hire anyone? Anyone who will take the measly salaries we pay.
We are ultimately responsible for our own children. Nekudah. And part of that, is working with the school. The attitude of “the schools messed up my kid” – doesn’t help our kids. Then help the schools. Finance them. Offer resources.
Do you think any principal will listen to an indictment of everything he stands for?
They are always well meaning. They work for US 24/7, for our kids, when they could make much more money elsewhere. Let’s show respect, or do the job ourselves. Of course we should give feedback. But aren’t we passing the buck to them?
Will this attitude help our schools – our kids? Will a community wide – our schools stink – how exactly will that help our kids?
OfCourse – Hold it – when people were willing to work for no money – it’s their responbility?? Are you kidding me? They have to eat, like everyone else.
And I personally have seen dozens of children and adults helped by competent professionals.
Kapusta – there is minhag, that menhalim fast the day they have to expell a child.
SJS – and if we paid more, she would have been experienced by a young , educated, talented teacher. Instead, that teacher went to the public school!
Yiddishe – that sounds a bit …spinned.
