This is the simplest, and yet most complicated issue I have come across. And it comes down to two viewpoints, which, let’s be honest, are probably more shaped by whether we’re parents or singles than by some deeply held ideological standpoint.
And the solution is basically down to who would suffer more, with abvious allowances being made for their respective situations.
Is the shidduch situation difficult enough to justify in-term shidduchim? Or is it simply a matter of convinience. If the former, then the OP is wrong, if the latter, they’re more likely to be right.
And secondly, are the kids deeply damaged by occasionally losing a teacher mid-term? Or not? And is it an issue the schools continually struggle with, or deal with comfortably enough?
I don’t know the facts on both sides. I daresay most of you can only really, at best, have knowledge of one side, at worst, neither. And even if you have covered both sides, I would guess you’re more strongly biased towards your current position, probably as a parent.
So basically, what I am trying to say is that much of the strength of feeling here is prbably misplaced, and that much of this ‘debate’ is typified by those with knowledge of, and biased towards, one side, facing off against somebody equally well versed in the facts of the other side, and equally ignorant with regards to the opposing postion. And that people would do well to recognize this before making bland, strident proclomations.
