Mrs. (B”H) bored@work:
That was the first exception. No complaints, this is where you wanted to go and you got there (with Hashem’s help, of course).
Bizrizut: So break the trend and don’t send your kids. Or, send them to Michlalla and have them get real credits from a real college that they can use back home.
There has been a good point made by a couple of posters:
WHY DON’T THE SEMS REQUIRE FUNDRAISERS LIKE ANY OTHER JEWISH INSTITUTION?
Please try to comment on this point as well (or if you have seen such a fundraiser).
