Are you happy with your child's school?!

I am so fed up with my kids school I am willing to look into any town anywhere just to get a good school for my child. Somewhere where they care about middos and they take care of bullies. Somewhere that they help your child learn no matter how slow or fast he is!? Is anyone really happy with their child's school?! I am not so concerned about how much mishnayos or Gemara he learns. I am more concerned about good middos and a school that will work with kids having difficulty learning!!

have you considered homeschooling?

Anywhere? Well, I know some top schools here in France, but I don't know if you really meant it? Wink

About homeschooling....Yes! Been there done that! It was great but my kids were bored and had no friends and I was totally drained every day!
About France I guess you caught me on that one. Anywhere in the USA, Canada or israel!

Depending on your hashkafa there are some great schools middos wise in Israel for sure

Thank you for all your suggestions! I have heard of gan Israel before and will look into more. I will also look into the school in monsey. I didn't home school in a place where there were lots of others. People thought I was nuts actually!

I only have good things to say about yeshiva ruach chaim. They work on middos, the rosh yeshiva and menahel have a personal relationship with every single boy, they really really take the time to teach what is really important, including interpersonal social skill development. A very special place. Look into it. If u have any questions I would be happy to answer as best as I can.

Ruchel- I guess you can call us middle of the road. Yeshivas modern some people call it?! Where are those schools in Israel? People always tell me that the schools in Israel are worse?!

For what age(s)? Boys/girls? Specific hashkafa?

The rosh yeshiva of ruach chaim is rabbi klor. They are located on east 26 and avenue z in Brooklyn. Phone number is 718-646-8500. I don't work for them. Just a very happy parent. They go up to eighth grade. No high school.
