2011 Presidents' Conference: Sheilos U'tshuvos--- Here is a
brief summary of some of the questions addressed during the
session: 1) Parents who do not pay tuition. How about
the child of a Rebbe? Does the fact that they are established
parents in the school make a difference? What if the other option
is public school? 2) In Monsey, N.Y. a number of
girls elementary schools recently closed. In total, about a dozen
girls were not accepted to a different school. Is there a
mechanism that could be put in place to help the girls and their
families get into the school? 3) Community
Kollelim: How does a community school deal with the added
stringencies that the Kollel families want put in place? How
about a Kollel family deal with some of the lower standards that
are in place in an out-of-town community. 4) Is
rewarding teachers appropriate as it may cause jealousy,
resentment, and demoralize amongst the other
teachers? 5) Are representatives of
out-of-town communities who try to recruit families from major
Jewish epicenters to move there doing those families a
disservice? 6) Marketing Torah in Newspaper Ads
Is it a proper derech to relegate the Torah to advertisements? Is
there a difference between being Modia and flaunting?
