On My Mind

Interesting. Love the emphasis on the main topic, just like
Hello In Italian

There is blame to be laid, but not at a single person’s feet. It was a combination of ill-made decisions, gross overspending, and a vision beyond what reality could contain. I, for one, begged the admin to hold onto its mission, and not believe the folklore that splitting would solve the problem. There were many issues, many problems, and dividing a house falling is never the solution. I, among many others, was fired for expressing my opinion.

Many claimed that educating boys and girls was not the correct way anymore, yet my children graduated and went onto bigger and better things. I felt they were the poster kids for Rambam, yet some wanted to avoid that success? I am bewildered, I am hurt, I am sad, and I am mostly upset that upstanding educators could not admit that they made mistakes.

“Many of its graduates stayed true to the school’s mission and ended moving to Israel.”  Unfortunately, Yeshivat Rambam itself did not stay true to it’s original mission, and instead, hoped that a move to the right would increase its moribund enrollment.  The plan did not work, and served only to alienate families who had wanted their children to attend Rambam because it had coed classes and a Tzioni hashkafa.  Once coed classes were eliminated and the school moved to the right, how really different was Rambam than the other area schools?
