Winter Vacation Rant

Just a little point:

I assume that the boys' and girls' Yeshivas give winter vacation on two separate yet consecutive weeks in order to prevent any improper mixing of the sexes over in Miami (or wherever the hot Orthodox vacation spot du jour might be). But I must weigh in on the subject. Having two separate, consecutive weeks of being required to take off from work to somehow find a way to entertain kids of different ages (but the same gender!) makes my life a bit of a living nightmare.

On the one hand, no bickering among siblings over American Girl Store vs. New Roc City. On the other, I manage to have the distinct pleasure of getting to visit both! On (and I might have mentioned this salient point) two separate, consecutive weeks.

Joy.

TAG and Darchei are making us parents miserable with this stupid game they play. I don't work, so I'm not missing any days but trust me I am losing it just like you are. We all are. And next week it starts allover again with the girls.

Right on, Orthomom.

I'm sure the motives of the yeshiva administrators are meritorious. They seem to have forgotten that there is such a thing as a family and that families might like to do things together. They also seem to have forgotten that it's tough for parents to take off for two weeks in a row.

Can't someone figure out how to get this fixed?

for that matter, would it really be that bad to have winter break when many working parents already have 2 (or more) days off? my son is starting his daycare next week. lucky for us becuase they are closed this week and i don't know who would have stayed home with him.

I agree fully. I still can't understand why yeshivas refuse to let their breaks overlap with the secular holiday season. Orthodox parents already have to work so much harder just to pay yeshiva tuition for many children. They deserve a vacation. Why make their vacation planning immeasurably harder by intentionally offsetting breaks from days they already have off?

It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The haves and the have nots all over again.

The Yeshivot (the haves) can dictate every aspect of life to the parents (the have nots).

This no mixing of genders is crazy, maybe my male and female children should live in different houses so that they dont know that there are other genders.

Parents who are involved and appropirate will properly supervise their children, and those who are always lax will always be lax.

Send your boys to Yeshiva Ketana and Yeshiva FR. They at least partially overlap with TAG.
And the parent body is almost the exact same (despite people's assumptions to the contrary). So is the basic hashkafa.

Great. Why didn't I think of that? Switch my kid or shut up about aspects of my choice that don't thrill me. That rule of thumb would make all of our lives so much more pleasant, I'm sure. Don't like the dessert you ordered? Shh. Don't even attempt to make conversation with your dinner companion about the fact that it was less that delicious. It was your choice to order the chocolate mousse. The new car you drive makes a funny sound when you accelerate? Don't call the dealer to complain! It was your choice to get that car. Not happy with how the president you voted for is shaping up? You don't ever have a right to express your view on his bad policies. You forfeited that right to talk critically about him when you chose to vote for him.

Oh wait, that isn't what you meant?

Orthomom, I really don't agree with you on your last point. I think you are comparing apples and oranges.This is not the same as complaining about a car that isn't working right. The school that YOU chose has a certain hashkafa and rules that you were well aware of before registering them. Why would someone order mousse when they knew it would be bad?!
You spend a lot of time complaing about the hashkafa of both your kids schools and none of what you complain about is some mysterious secret that one only finds out until sending there. There are plenty of schools in the neighborhood that are very similar hashkaficly and might suit your needs better. So quit complaining, these schools are not changing hashkafa for you or anyone else who is unhappy!

TAG deliberately schedules its break to fall out later than HAFTR or HALB (and I guess Shulamith, though I don't know for sure). My son's school vacation actually approximates TAG's, though it begins earlier with a ridiculous half day for Thursday and ends much earlier. He doesn't get a full week off, just about 3 days and a Sunday IIRC. Long school breaks are difficult for working parents who often have to take so many days for Yom Tov that they can't afford an additional 2 weeks for mid-winter.

Orthomom, I don't know why some of your readers seem to think that once you register your child for a particular school you should consider yourself barred forever after from voicing any complaint about it.

As for your places, I don't think I'll be going back to the American Girl place, but I would put even more effort into avoiding New Roc. At the former, you could just look around without buying, but the latter is like taking a bunch of bills and burning them one after the other. The rides and games just eat up money.

That is so wrong on so many levels. First: asking for the chance to vacation together as a family is FAR from a hashkafic issue. Second: I can ABSOLUTELY take issue with hashkafic decisions my kids' schools make - do you honestly believe that any one school is going to have a hashkafa that is perfect for anyone? You think if I switch my children's school, everything will automatically fall into place hashkafically? What an absurd notion. Your thought process here is way off. And my car and dessert examples are perfectly on point.

First of all from the sound of this thread the vacation scheduling does sound like a hashkafic issue "mixing of the sexes on vacation" You are now changing your tune saying they don't want you to have a "family vacation" I'm sure the schools would have no problem with your family vacationing together.But your comments on this thread don't say that.
I'll agree with you on the fact that you are not going to agree with every hashgafic decision the school you send your children to make, just don't expect them to change their hashgafa for you.
Third, are you even sure that this is the reason they gave their vacation in this manor? Did you speak with the administration? Did they tell you they don't want "mixing of the sexes" or were they just simply to lazy to coordinate with the other schools?

Anonymous Anonymous said...

For one thing, I know that there has been meetings among the principals of ALL 5T schools in order to coordinate vacations (to coincide.)But some school have different priorities not congruent only with 'mixing' they also have their Rebbeim and teachers' schedules that they try to work with. Many Rebbeim, for example, do not want to be off on a holiday weekend when they really want to clear up some issues they may have with their banks (closed MLK day etc.) or the various local/state/federal government agencies they may need to visit.

maybe the schools dont think people should be running on vacations all the time maybe they feel that the idea that kids feel they must go on vacation and the idea of everyone being so materialistic is not good and therefore if they do not give the boys and girls off the same week you will not be able to go on vacation.
and about complaining about hashkafahs of a school once you send your kid to a school then all the hashkafahs that you knew they had be4 going to the school are off limits u can complain about changes, new hashkafahs, or a new implementation of the hashkafahs in a more vigilante way but everything u knew about before hand is off limits because u knew about it and sent ur kid there anyway. would it be fair to send ur kid to a chassidish yeshiva and then complain about teaching in yiddish

You live in such a different world than the rest of us, it is sometimes very difficult to digest your concerns under the pretext of orthodoxy. This is simply rampant American materialism and clique-ism under the pretense of hashkafa.

What are you talking about? Giving kids vacation at the same time has nothing to do with taking trips. Why can't a family go on a local hike together or go bowling? That's the point here. Not whether the yeshivas are sick of familes going on trips that you think are too materialistic. Trust me, I'm a parent in the yeshivas that I think om is talking about. The materirilistic parents who want to take their kids on ski trips or beach trips do it anyhow. They take one kids or the other out of school to do it.
The people who are suffering here are the people like me and presumably om who work full time and don't have the luxury of taking kids to far out places. I also can't miss work, unlike om. This is very hard for me and I feel terriblr for my kids. Also, one of my kids has severe learning disabilities and can't be taken out of school for a family trip, even if I wanted to go on one. The schools don't consider that when they give separate vacations.

The issue boils down to the fact that Right-of-Center schools try to:

(1) socially engineer the lives of parents and families as a way of "fixing what is wrong in our communities"
(2) try to make a point to the far-Right establishment that they more closely align themselves with that circle than with Centrist and MO schools; but typically, this is defining themselves more by what they are not, than what THEY really stand for

I don't even want to get into when schools that give off for Isru Chag because their teachers need a "travel day" (people with other jobs don't get such a luxury) or refuse to be officially off for Thanksgiving and around Christmas (when they know that half of the families pack out).

These schools take parents for granted and merely do things to "make a point"--and try to frame it in Halachic or logical terms.

I'll even go a step further -- though I admit it's somewhat off the topic: I would *love* it if schools ran year-round with obvious breaks for Yomim Tovim as well as a few longer vacations *and* a slightly shorter school day.

The administration and faculty -- particularly English faculty -- complain that they can't adequately cover necessary material in the amount of time allotted. Everyone complains that there is no time for valid field trips, extra-curricular activities, or the kinds of things that can offset some of the necessary boredom kids experience. Most of us complain about the escalating costs of camp and the expectation by schools that all children attend camp.

So, yes, school would cost more, but I'd be thrilled if we could channel some of those resources into more robust schools!

The theme here seems to be bashing the right wing schools for what they are labeling "same sex vacations" If anyone had bothered calling their school, the truth is totally different than what everyone assumes. The only reason TAG is giving vacation the week of the 29th has to do with the Math regent that the 9th and 10 graders take the week of the 22nd. It has nothing at all to do with anything else. The other schools all follow the BJE calandar. Darchei usually doesn't give off because of Bitul Torah. How about some positive attitudes about our yeshivot instead of always complaining and bashing. I sincerily hope you don't do this in front of your children- no wonder the youth of today are so chutzpadik!!

The truth is is that the day school and Yeshiva administrators could care less about the parents' needs. Unless, of course, the parents are multi-millionaires. Then, they kiss their feet and do anything they can to make them happy. (One principal told me that he does whatever one of the super-wealthy parents tell him to do. I have no problem telling you who this principal is.) I hope one day someone treats them in the comtemptuous way they treat the average working stiff parent.

i think with succos pesach and an entire summer oh yes and chanukah vacation. maybe the yeshivas should give off on days like x-mas and new years when a lot of parents are off. i pay all this money for tuition and play groups and they are always home.

I teach English in a yeshiva in Far Rockaway and I counted a total of 130 days. Compared to 183 in public school, we tend to accelerate the learning.
Most of the students can handle it. the one's who have a problem are the ones that listen to the rebbeim who says secular studies are shtuss. Those students tend to fall into the kollel cracks, wake up one day married with 8 kids and realize they need to make a parnassah. Of course, they do not have the rudimentary skills necessary to thrive in college let alone, get in. It's a shame.

Im a current Haftr student and i 10000000% dont recommend it im not Jewish by belief so please dont be a troll for that but i have different issues im mad that there is no other ethnicity because jewish Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, etc exist and because of that some of the kids are very racist also some of tem are sexist and made fun of a non jewish teachers religion (Christianity) so dont ever send your kid to Haftr elelementary, middle, or high many of tjem are all equally disrespectful but the teachers are amazing
