Im looking into putting my kids in to munkatch cheder in monsey.
Can somone help me with some info on this cheder?
I heard that they have a very good chinuch... what does that mean?
Also, some people are telling me that all the people that dont have where to send, send there. Is this true?
Whats the parent body like? What type?

If anyone can help me out, I wud greatly appreciate it.

What does it mean that people who dont have where to send send there?
People that dont get excepted elsewhere, or people that just dont belong anywhere?
Im so confused!

Why don't you all the people who tell you this irl?

The people I know who send there are a bit different.

It means people who don't want to send to a chassidus, but want a regular Chassidish cheder. They also allow the mothers to drive, which other chedarim do not.

These days they are starting to be just as exclusive as everyone else, and are not accepting just anyone.

Amother above, I would love to know what you mean by "different."

It started out to be a neutral cheder but now the cheder moved to the right, now its for people who like the style of Satmer / Pupa but weren't accepted because of overcrowding.

I would not say it's gone that far to the right at all. Just a bit more than it started out. It's nowhere near Satmar/Pupa style.

It's no where near pupa/satmer at zc'll.
Ppl that don't belong to a chasidus or ppl that the kids weren't accepted by their chassidus send there
They allow the mothers to drive which most other chassidish cheders don't allow.

Op here.

Thanks Maya.

What about chinuch wise? Are the boys happy to go to cheder? Do they have good melamdim? Do they hit? What about learning? Is it on a very high level?

This Cheder use to be Nitra, which attracted a neutral parent body. I really wouldn't say that this cheder is where people send when they are not accepted anywhere else. I just do not get that feeling from the parents I am acquainted with who send their sons there.

last year when they sent letters to parents concerning fathers & mothers dress etc. my husband asked what their goal is, and the reply was "we want to be like every chassidishe mossad" even if now its not Satmer/Pupa, its surley heading in that direction. the curriculum and chinuch method is the same old, exactly like in all the chassidishe mosdos

They allow internet? Thats strange. it doesnt sound too chassidish to me... I thought all the cheders these days dont allow it. (Or at least give out the rule)

I highly doubt that they openly allow internet. You should double check that info.

That's entirely untrue. They are much more invested in the success of their children than any old Chassidish school, and employ disciplinary methods based on psychological findings. They are also more invested in their secular education program than other schools.

They forbid the children from having access to computers and Internet, but no one ever said a word about the parents, and no forms have ever been signed to that effect.

All the parents I know who send there have Internet. The children watch shows. They have electronic toys. Their secular education stinks like all the others. I don't know what you mean by "invested" but they are not teaching English and math in a manner that would be acceptable outside the Chassidish school system. I send to a Yeshivish school and I am appalled at the lack of secular education. My son's friends at Munkatch get an even worse secular education than my son gets. These boys can barely read and write English. Forget about any type of grammer.

All the boys I know who go there are nice boys.

As a mother in the Cheder I can say this: Internet use is permitted for parents if there is a filter and kids aren't allowed access. They acknowledge that while none of the other schools allow computers and Internet everyone has it nonetheless so rather than ban it they encourage proper use.
They take the parents and anything raised by parents very seriously. They don't have the snobby attitude most other schools have.
Can't comment on the English curriculum but I do know that if they'd hear parents complain they'd take care if that issue as well.
Parent body is pretty much neutral chassidish. They don't have ultra chassidish and steer clear of bummy.
Any other concerns I can address?
