ATTENTION POPA, PAC MAN, AND ALL OTHERS WHO ARE JUDGING US.
1) Our hashkafos ARE the same as that of our daughters’ school! Please do not be so quick to condemn us. Yes there are areas in which we disagree. That doesn’t mean we are so different. Our children are very careful about Tznius, lashon hara etc. They are B”H very much into their frumkeit. They NEVER mingle with the opposite gender!
So please do not suggest we send our children to MO schools. That is quite different from our hashkafos!!!
2) WE REPEAT – IN CASE YOU MISSED IT THE FIRST FEW TIMES WE MENTIONED IT: The school did not have this graduation rule when our girls started there. In fact this is the first one of our daughters whose graduation is affected by this.
3) I myself went to a very frum school in Brooklyn and our fathers were invited to the graduation. I have also spoken to friends who’s children are in different FRUM (not MO) schools here and in NY, NJ etc. and fathers do come to the graduations.
4) In fact there was a very well known Rav (I will not mention his name because I don’t want any loshon hara to start) who would probably not have had a problem with this. At the graduations from his yeshiva, there were a few times when women spoke. There was also mixed seating at their banquets. NO – THEY WERE NOT MO! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A VERY FRUM RIGHT WING GROUP.
5) I feel like we are being attacked by certain posters on here who obviously don’t even know us. But yet they are so ready to judge us and tell us where to send our kids. The CR is a place to express opinions – not attack or be attacked.
6) As far as sheltered schools not having a problem with OTD, unfortunately that’s not true at all. We know of many families with that problem not only in our city but yes in NY as well.
With all that said, we can only daven to Hashem that Moshiach come soon. The world is in a crazy state right now. We see things unfolding quite rapidly. Yes it’s scary. But we must have bitachon. We all have areas in which we can improve. We must all try our best so we can be zoche to Moshiach very soon.
Have a Great Lag B’Omer everyone!!!
By the way – Thank you to all the posters who do agree with, and support us.
