5 – amen
8 – I’m not sure why you’re so preoccupied with the French… Explain to me how someone who can’t speak English, do math or perform anything resembling a marketable skill is going to make a living? They aren’t getting enough to make a living, and in the modern economy they really don’t have a future.

For all the Modern fellows here: getting someplace in life really means advancing in Torah and Mitsvos, and not getting fancy careers and spending too much time on the French or learning, ch’sh, the works of some French menuvolim writers. If they are able to make a living with this mich secular educ. — it is enough.

Isc, your comment is distasteful and bigoted. Where did you ‘buy’ your education?

Who said they are getting a “second class education?” They are getting the education THEIR PARENTS want them to receive. Just because YOU are not happy with that type of education doesnt make it “second class.” I really hope they win the case but if they CH’V loose it, I am sure they are creative enough to come up with something that will work while keeping the socialist govt off their backs.

Getting nowhere in life is good. It’s exactly what they want.

Keep em dumb, and they won’t escape.

While I’m wary of government intrusion into private schools business, its a bigger problem that all the kids going to these schools are going to have absolutely no chance of getting anywhere in life with that type of education.

enahak : The only crime that is being committed is by the yeshiva for giving the students a second class education. A lot of these kids will be functionally illiterate when they “graduate” from high school. For goodness sake, the secular studies teachers are not even qualified according to provincial standards.

Many in the New York area say “why should I care if a candidate for governor or senator is for toayva rights, or toayva marriage, that has nothing to do with US. We care about getting funding for our causes, etc.”
Well…
This article should tell us WHY we MUST be concerned with the kind of people we elect!
Just as this school in the article is struggling to be allowed to keep IT’S curriculum, the SAME could happen here.
The day could definitely come when, chalila, for a school to operate, they may be told you MUST employ some percentage of toayva teachers, and/or you must teach a curriculum that includes teaching the legitimacy of the toayva lifestyle!
We CAN’T say we don’t care about that issue, that it’s not relevant to US. It could become all TOO relevant to us.
