“this is not typical though. your child was unhappy, and for whatever reason the way it manifested itself was in stunted social development. a typical child will do just fine in a public school setting. “
A child knows when he’s different and that usually makes them feel uncomfortable. My child may have been more uncomfortable than others. He became comfortable as soon as he started a frum school.
“you always need to check out what they have access to BEFORE they access it.”
That’s not so easy. You can’t always know what the teachers are doing. Did you ask the art teacher what projects they are doing? or the music teacher about the songs? or what they might see in the library? If I were a teacher, I would be annoyed if a parent was always asking about my materials. As you said, these teachers have much education and experience. They (like any other professional) don’t want an outsider telling them what to do. They will eventually learn to say what you want to hear.
My son’s preschool was expensive (15k) and basically like a public school, and unfortunately needed for us to both work. I wish I had other real options.
anonymrs, you seem to justify your position a lot and have a lot of contempt for the Jewish preschools. any guilt?
