    Ptach I think is like Cahal where they dont have a School but rather have classes in various schools in the community depending on the grade.

    You dont apply to Chaim Berlin you apply to Ptach and they will place you in your appropriate grade level. If your grade is in Chaim Berlin they will put you there, If it is elsewhere they will put you elsewhere

    I should have defined what an IEP is

    An IEP is a detailed report by education experts on your exact abiliites, where they are weak, what level you are on. How grade level your math, english social skills etc.

    They can offer you extra help where you need it provide tutors (even in Yeshivas) They send the help to the Yeshivas FOR FREE

    It provides solutions to help those weaknesses FOR FREE at taxpayer expense.

    OP

    You need to speak to your parents about the IEP, I dont think you can get it yourself, but they can. They probably went to a meeting at the board of Ed to get one and if they didnt they are leagally entitled to get it done (I am assuming you live in NYC) but I think IEP’s are done throught New York State, Its a State mandate not a city mandate.

    The IEP’s give your exact disablities and full detail and then you can discuss with various yeshivas if they are able to deal with them

    So Nisht

    How does being a Box Schleeper boss make you an expert on IEP’s and Special Education.

    And my comments arent off the top of my head, Anyone who knows anything about special ed would take my comments seriosuly

    Many More Modern orthodox schools are more equipped to handle special education and many do have resource rooms, but it still doesnt mean he belongs there. However every Special education child is different and there are a broad range where they are and without reading the IEP its impossible to know where he is on the scale.

    A Yeshiva like Darchei might actually be a terrible place for him, if he has seriosus issues and cannot really learn properly he will get frustrated and may even act out and a Rebbe who is not qualified to teach a special needs child will unduly punish him and make it worse.

    In general its hard to comment on the OP’s specific case unless you read his IEP (Some School report on his disabilities)

    So its hard to know if he needs just a resource room or needs a special school. Its hard to know even how much he can be pushed.

    Most Yeshivas do not have resource rooms. Special Ed teachers cost money and have to be specially trained. They barely pay their own regular teachers. They are not going to pay for a Special Ed teacher.

    Those classes need to be smaller which also costs money.

    And its not a matter of you get what you pay for, very few people can afford $50,000 tutions even if you have a really good job.

    I dont think Darechi takes special ed Students, however there is a program in the 5 towns Far Rockaway called Cahal that does and they place students in various schools in the area. They might have a class at Darchei

    You probably need to go to a school like Sinai in Teaneck, NJ. It doesnt have a dorm.

    Be aware the school costs about $50,000

    jewish Schools for learning disabled People are very expensive. Many such kids wind up going to public school because of the cost

    I guess you know better than Rav Aharon Feldman the Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Yisroel where Dov Lipman got his Smicha from who while not agreeing with him only said he was misguided.

    Ive met Chilonim in Europe as well (I had a hat on) and when I spoke to them in Hebrew they asked where I learned it and I told them I was Dati and they still spoke to me and kept telling me how much I need to come to Israel and what a beautiful place it is. And they were surprised to find a jew who speaks hebrew in Europe and they were happy.

    Had the Charedim totally ignored them and let them be, they would have done they wanted in obscurity and nobody would be paying attention and they probably would have stopped as nobody new would have come and people would have dropped out.

    You obviously dont know what a Fanatical Secularist is.

    A Fanatical Secularist is someone who files lawsuits against religion (Like Fighting “Under God” in the Pledge) who might sue a Yeshiva for discrimation because there are no women in charge or might sue a Rabbi because they wont marry a same gender couple.

    Someone who drives to the Beach on Shabbos never goes to Shul , never speaks to a rabbi but doesnt care if other people do is secularist, but not a fanatical Secularist.

    If you had even the slightest inclination towards the truth, you would acknowledge that “we all” are not losing our youth to frumkeit in nearly the same numbers as “you all”.

    The problem is that the Torah community kept growing and is jeapordizing the long term hiloni control over Eretz Yisrael. We aren’t will to reduce our numbers, and they can’t increase their’s.

    And they are the ones working and paying taxes, As their numbers get smaller and smaller their tax rates are getting higher and higher to pay for the benefits. At some point they cannot pay anymore. They are entitled to feed their own families and pay their own mortgages too.

    I do not know who you work for, but people with college degrees are generally unsuited for certain tasks.

    I would not hire a person with a masters in Mathematics to shlep boxes.

    I thought I answered it, but Ill repeat

    I have a real college degree from a secular university (Not Touro or YU) .

    yes I have a job, I would not have gotten it if I did not have the degree as origianally I was competing with other people to get it and they had degrees. Employoers reading your resume will look for college degrees first in order to weed out unwated resumes.

    The Degree got me past the original resume sifting area. You still have to be interviewed and show you know your stuff.

    A college degree is the key to open the door to many positions in the counry.

    You cannot even get to the door without one and I would not have gotten in the door unless I had a college degree.

    How do you the message out, the only other way is Pashkavills, but Those would be either torn down , Defaced or pasted over.

    So Im not sure that would work either.

    Such a message would probably not get passed the askananim so that avenue is closed as well

    How else do you expect for Yaffed to get out their message?

    There may be “Lifnei Iver” issues if you provide food (and otherwise she wouldn’t be eating then), since she will not be making brachos.

    I think only Rav Elyshiv holds this way, otherwise there would be much greater issues in general, like if you own a restaurant or work at one and obvious non-religious jews come in

    In general society look at the scorn heaped up such people. Look at the damage at the Catholic Church, Look at the damage at Penn State. It brought down the Pope and the greatest college football coach. You dont think a R’Y could be brought down if they were found negeligent?

    NK are allowed to protest because there is a 1st amendment in this country.

    Contrary to whatever else might be posted, the counter-protest assembled about 9 (not 1000) NINE people and about 15 policemen to guard them.

    I have the photos NK received their fewest representation that I remember, Ive seen in past years Pro-PLO groups protesting, even they were not there

    Actually I have a problem with ANYONE spending $180 on a pair of shoes.

    And instead of trolling had you read my actual comments, I said specifically I have never and would never spend that money on MYSELF for such a pair of shoes, I hate spending more than $75 on a pair and Ill only spend that on something I can wear everyday to get the most use out of it.

    However this was about using Tzedkah Money for $180 pair of shoes, If someone has the money and wishes to waste his own money that he earned it on such a pair, its one thing however its quite another if they are using Tzadekah to pay for it
