[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 schools?  For how many children?  Where do they go to school now?[/quote]

They are currently bussed to a nearby town but the population is exploding and they need separate schools for boys and girls and also the schools are not large ones like some public schools are.  they are expanding into this town and need schools here .   Look up what happened in Ramapo school district.  The same thing is happening here now .

It is unsustainable, especially when you consider very few of the students using these funds and schools will be able to (or even try to ) support  themselves, their families .   It is a crisis in my opinion.  [/quote]

NP.  That makes more sense, the students exist.  [b]But if the students fail all the standardized tests, the schools will lose accreditation and funding. [/b] [/quote]

No, they won’t.  That’s the point!!  They have the politicians in their pockets.  They keep the funding and do not educate the children to state standards.  It’s been happening for decades.   Check out yaffed.org.  Naftuli Moster is a member of the Hasidic community who started that organization at great personal sacrifice.  He and his family have been ostracized because of his work to shine a light on this problem.  It’s an amazing turn for the NYT to write about this in-depth.  [/quote]
