EarlyBird- “The reason why tuition is so much cheaper in chassidishe schools is because it is a chassidus, and the chassidim all chip in to keep the school running. They don’t get all funding from tuition.”
that’s very commmendable! I’m impressed by that achdus.
“you seem to have quite a lot to say about the chassidishe education… I wonder if you ever dealt with someone who was educated in these schools.”
plenty of them. on the side I deal with alot of kids at risk, majority coming from chassidishe backgrounds…
“I myself went to a chassidishe school and I think my english is at least slightly better than yours, from what I can tell by your writing style.”
Your right, my writing style Here in the CR is def not up to par, however by saying that your writing style is better than mine, is absolute arrogance. yiddishkiet is about recognising your faults and building upon them, not denying it and sweaping it under the carpet, like various other aspects are within your relm. i’ve got nothing against you I’m just putting my views out there on the table feel free to disagree, I don’t have a problem with that. However I do have a problem with arrogance, and I will not tollerate it!
“Our children are sheltered from negative influences, not from education. They can read and write English, they know Math, Science, History, etc. just as well as any other school. Most chassidishe schools take all regents and they get good grades compared to other schools.”
Even though those types of schools offer those subjects, majority of them have show no interest in it and I know there is a lrge % of thm tht barely excell in them!, as a result they resort to habbbbits that are not healthy and sometimes unfortunately illegal! they hold that everything outside the yiddishe velt is garbbbbage and that these subjects are only taken because it is required by the state. Again that is NOT yiddishkiet!
