Wow. Really controversial post he was busted with. This is gonna break the newsstands.


(For the record, I did delete a post here, which actually was pretty controversial.)

I think I'm gonna start immediately saving all good posts here on DDF, in case they get deleted...

It wasn't controversial at all, and I wouldn't have mentioned it, had I not caught it on screenshot. But curiosity got the better of me. What was the shakla vetarya in the process of saying thank you and then retracting

My guess that he got a million pms translating

Move it to JS as this is an important issue that doesn't need to be sidetracked.

There are people that actually defend these "askanim?" With the hundreds of anecdotes I have heard as well as the experiences of people in this thread, you begin to see a pattern. Dismissing this pattern as "anonymous forum posts" or "biased accounts" is disingenuous and damaging to any effort at fixing the problem.

That's what happens when you have two threads taking about the same thing

In js it doesn't get accepted into post count so on the first day just bring to gd. Let's see if the mods drive her home.

Wait a second. You actually see this thread as a potential to fixing this problem? 

Just because it's in GD doesn't mean it's anything more than a platform for the hurt to rant (or share their experiences). At most perhaps raise awareness by those not affected.

My comment wasn't directed at just this thread.

Wow. Unbelievable.

[yesitsme]

Can anyone please explain the "Problem"?
is it that the schools have priorities set?
is it that schools would like to have a parent body that share a common value?

Wtf

My daughter got accepted into a school end of August. Let me tell you I have A LOT to say on the subject. She is a 4 year old kid with nothing missing in her brain, her home, or her life in general Bh. Our problem? We simply don't 'belong' I grew up one way (that I despised and the feeling was mutual), dh went to a certain school, a different yeshiva, and another different mesivta. Therefore we don't belong to one certain type. Everyone only wants to accept their own kind. Unless you have buckets of money or an inside man. The situation is brutal. You try a nuetral school and they feel no responsibility to accept you. Mrs B from BYBP may she rot in hell set the standard for my 4 yr old so high that of course it was impossible. She really did a number on me. Sleepless nights. Gray hair on us (we're both in our 20's)... The schools make you go through hell and jump through their hoops before they say no. One letter in particular said (quote) 'we understand how difficult it must be to place your child. Unfortunately we are unable to assist at this time. We wish you much Hatzlocha.' Not even a meeting. Not an ounce of research on me and my family. No reason whatsoever. And then the so called rabbis cry that kids are going off the derech. Well those same hanhalas will have to answer some very tough questions when their time comes.

There are quite a few families in Lubavitch who ended here because the schools בשיטה accepted everyone. There are also many others who didn't become Lubavitchers but did go to Lubavitcher Yeshiva (and IINM to a much lesser degree Bais Rivkah).

I don't know where you live, but I would guess that if there is a Lubavitch affiliated school, your children will be accepted.

Yes I saw what you wrote. Not nice but probably true
