And yes this. I have heimish family in Monsey that had a miserable time getting into schools. It’s even worse there for heimish parents. I’m general this in between type is harder.

You seem to be relying on a lot of hearsay
I know the Robinsons personally and you have a huge misconception of who they are
People like you kvetch that there are no schools or slots available, and then when someone goes and opens one, you go out of your way to degrade them. No one wants to be in the position of everyone talking badly about them based on what they heard (ie no factual information with both sides of the story) so you are indirectly causing others to not want to open a school

I know a lot of people in Nachalas.
Because my husband went to yeshiva years ago with R Robinson. So many of the men from their general chevra got in because they person know R Robinson.
It happens also that these are mostly typical yeshivish OOT people because that's the chevra.
Yes, some heimishe people get in.
But there really is no room
Bais Tova- let's say, the owner is heimishe. So we don't really know people who know him personally, so we couldn't get in.
I don't know. Why are more heimishe people not opening new schools in Lakewood? |
million dollar question?!!
This is a MUST!!!!!

A new school announced it is opening chinuch bas yisroel, also a relatively new one shiras ruchama has room but no one wants to send to these new schools. So how are we ever going to solve this crisis of no room?

Honestly wouldn’t want parents that talk like this in a school. Why the attitude?
And I’m saying this as someone who married Heimish and had a very hard time getting my daughter into a school in monsey. She’s still not accepted and I held her back a year but you will not hear me talking this way about people who run schools. Every system has its issues but no one wants attitude and entitlement.
Some things we did that we hope will work- we applied to the newer schools (we got “lucky” and they rejected us so the more established schools couldn’t send us back there).
My husband started davening maariv in a shul with “machers” connected to the schools. Formed some relationships (they know he came for help but he’s also formed some nice two way friendships). We prioritize giving tzeddaka in the community in small ways, always did- so the people we have longstanding relationships, like my husbands old Maggid shiur etc. call on our behalf.
Still not simple but no one owes us and I’m confident that by the time pre1a starts my kid will be in a school iyh.

I’m just saying his wife can be on here, not so many people got interviews so they can probably figure out who you are. Speaking in this manner might have just ruined your chances. Doesn’t make sense to be attacking schools you are trying to convince to take you.

From the way you’re bashing the school it doesn’t sound like a good school for you. And I’m saying this as someone who had to beg to get into a school. No one is out to get you, there are not enough slots. And the way the world works, money talks. So with a limited amount of slots, they are very strategic with who they take. Not saying it’s good, it’s just lakewood living without enough schools

Rabbi Robinson told us straight up at the interview a few years back that if we give 25k then we can talk. How is there suddenly room for 25k?
