I had 30-32 girls in my class in school (several years ago) pushing in a 33rd girl simply wouldn't have fit.
If you say people should open schools- Aderes and Chedvas just opened 4 and 3 years ago for this purpose and they're stuffed to capacity. |
I'm sorry, but that's not an excuse. They need to open a lot more schools, and not just 3, 4 years ago.
I know it's wrong of me to complain when I am part of the problem (I know, I'm not volunteering to open a school myself), but still, we're all human. And there's a real problem that cannot be explained by natural growth.

OP, perhaps the question should not be, "what is the point of sending girls to high school?" but rather "is it really worth it to live in Lakewood?"

I'm going to say under my screenname my daughter is not in a highschool yet for next year.
My daughter was the top of her clas, GO etc.
I understand how nauseating and political it all is.
My daughter is fine. She's not suffering. She's her regular self..having a wonderful summer..I am not stressed about it. My husband is not stressed about it.
Your daughter will be stronger for this and the tools and attitutude you give over will have lasting impressions.
I'm hapoy to talk more over pm.

Wow small bean. I'm inspired by your equanimity and calm in the face of a situation that most find stressful. And your daughter's, too. And I wish you much Hatzlacha. What a great attitude to take with you in life.

I think my highschool years were extremely important. Cant imagine not being in school for those years.
I understand why girls don’t need seminary . But highschool is a different story .

OTOH, my Lakewood friend's DD was still waiting for HS placement in October but eventually got into a very nice school where she was very happy and B'H got into a very nice seminary. It was a very nerve-wracking time for my friend, but B'H at the end all girls were placed. |
I know people who send to Bruriah and are very happy. But it won't work for a more yeshivish girl. They just won't fit in there.

This is not what every girl wants.
You know some girls actually have brains, and enjoy a robust curriculum taught by competent teachers, a chance to gain an education along with skills for life? Some of us went on to get our degrees, too. And diligent learning also teaches responsibility.
Perhaps there are girls who don't need the high school experience, but there are reasons for trends. I for one am not looking to go back to a time when the education of girls was not considered to be important.
I think the OP's message is really one of pain. It's a situation that needs to be resolved if we want to keep the future builders of our nation (borrowing a phrase from my DD's high school song) within our own school system.

Does amother Mauve live in Lakewood?
Because I don't think what she posted is common in Lakewood.
Did you read her post? It doesn't sound like she lives here.
In Lakewood, most of the time it's a full-from-siblings flooded-with-applicants situation.
Which is because people are flocking to Lakewood, of course.
