mw13, what shape is our chinuch system in now? I ask you? Schools are closing left and right! They have outsmarted themselves. Thousands of kids are OTD, they wanted to make an example of kids to teach other kids not to follow suit? So how many kids needed to be made the example. It looks like the example became the rule! So how well did that work out? Did it stop anyone from committing the same offense or did it become a selection process?
What should they have done? First they should have looked closer for the signs of trouble and dealt with it. Yes, they should have cared more for the students and worked more closely with them so they would not have been in the terrible matzav they were in. And if they broke the rules they should have worked more closely with them to find out why instead of labeling them “bad” or “osvarf” and throwing them out. THEY should have recognized children in pain and help them heal. THEY should have looked beneath the surface and listened to understand. ALL THEY were interested in was THEIR rule was broken and THEY had to get rid of the culprit.
GEE, what does that say about their own when THEY break a rule? How many of them have been caught cheating the government and worse? Shouldn’t THEY be thrown out never to be allowed back again? Think about it, shouldn’t THAT be a rule? After all they can be influencing others, at least the thousands of kids in their school and their parents.
