mommamia22 -I’m angry because you have no idea what you are talking about and you think you know it all.
“My mother did it. She remained frum. Back in her day there were not so many frum schools. Her family upbringing kept her frum.”
How ignorant of you to compare years ago to today. Many people years ago didn’t have Yeshiva backgrounds and remained Frum due to their upbringing. Nowadays because of the low level of the generation, not only is it next to impossible to remain Frum going to P.S., but lots of kids go OTD whom do go to Yeshiva!
“Please don’t think that even very yeshivish places would accept anyone over sending them to public school. Maybe out of town, but not in New York.”
Outright Lie! Most Yeshivos in NY, if not all would take a kid if it meant saving them from P.S.
Someone once told me a story what happenned with his kid. He applied to one of BP most fancy Yeshivos and he got rejected because they couldn’t agree on tuition. So he told them -he’s moving out of town and putting his kid(s) in Public school.
He actually moved to a different state up north to a small town.
They happenned to have a small Lubabvitch Yeshiva where he sent his kids. The Yeshiva in BP found out he moved and called him every night begging him to take his kids out of P.S. & bring his kid(s) back to BP and they would accept him. After a few months of them calling him, he felt vindicated and told them where his kids really where, so they should stop calling him.
“Kids with good “credentials” get turned down for placement just because of a flood of applicants (elementary school) and not having connections. That’s life.”
True, but there usually is somewhere else to go. I never heard of a story where a kid was forced into P.S. This is something you made up in your mind to defend this Yeshiva. You are obviously out of touch with reality!
“Why do you assume I’m young?”
I was hoping to blame your foolishness on your age. If you are older -it’s much worse!
“Why do you assume my knowledge of Halacha is not that great?”
Well it’s either not that great or you blatanly ignore it!
“The person who was kicked out of yeshiva who went to public school wasn’t forced to go to public school. That was their choice (I know them. You do not).”
So why post it? It has no revelance to my case!
“How does the choice of the yeshiva to call the police and send letters to families alerting them to what has occurred point to their condoning this behavior? I would assume the opposite.”
I never said that. I said acc. to your train of thought you should have no problem with Yeshivos covering up for molesters!
