“ubiq, do you make up bubbe maaisas as you go along and call them the facts, to fit and attempt to support”
nope, I’m not the one who distorted R’ Moshe’s opinion on Bas Mitzvahs That was a dear friend of mine, you may know him.
1) “Public school equivalency is NOT defined by offering the Regents”
It is Here is a verbatim quote from NYSED website
“The proposed regulation allows non-public schools to choose from various pathways to demonstrate that they provide substantially equivalent instruction to students, as required by law. Any of the state’s more than 1,800 nonpublic schools will be able to demonstrate their substantial equivalency of instruction through one of the following pathways: … It is a high school registered by the Board of Regents (grades 1 through 8 of a nonpublic school that has a registered high school program will also be deemed substantially equivalent by virtue of the school’s high school registration);”
That is a verbatim quote
This was accepted as a far as I know.
If you are saying this new recommend regulation is weaker than the current one, I’m skeptical and would like to see that in writing
And it is odd that we weren’t lobbying for acceptance of this new less restrictive defitnion.
You said “The law requires Elementary schools teach (at least) math, English, gym, music, arts and sex education” By all means share it, I cant find this law *
“Even those new regulations voted on this week are NOT effective yet. It has a future effective date. As of today nothing changed regarding the public school equivalency law”
Great So we should push for acceptance!
Not sure what pounts 6- 7 add or detract from my point
“To repeat and reiterate, NYS Education Law Section 3204(2) requires private schools provide full public school equivalency. There is NO DISTINCTION under the law between math, English, science, music, arts or sex education.”
You are (deliberately?) distorting the law it does not say ” full public school equivalency” In fact, it practically says he opposite “Substantially equivalent” music does not appear there at all “hygiene” does but the law says ” a pupil may, consistent with the requirements of public education and public
health, be excused from such study of health and hygiene as conflicts with the religion of his parents or guardian”
IS there a different law you are reffering to?
“No Yeshiva or Beis Yaakov in the entire State of New York is compliant”
Again, even if that is true (it isn’t) , so what?
So they aren’t compliannt. whats the problem. I have no problem with lack of compliance .
” My advance apologies for my strong words”
no apology necessary I know it is out of love
