  • Very Very nice

    I don;t know what the comments below are talking about, this video and the teachers said it all.

    Keep it up OT!!!

    These are the teachers of our children, the more that are invested in them the more the talmidim benifet

    Boruch Hashem this is happening!

    I don’t have children yet, but I’ve always had the dilemma that I don’t want them learning in Crown Heights. I’ve found in the past the OT and LY just do not cater to kids. I hope things are changing.

    What they now need to do is create a curriculum that teaches “skills” not just “knowledge.”

  • aluminai of ot

    what a wonderfull thing for a school to do
    which oholai torah is doing this, is the one in crown heights involved too…

    Of course everyone will remind us that Oholei Torah is far from perfect. Yet give credit where it is due. Oholei Torah has shown that they are aware of the Chinuch challenges we face today and are looking to do something about it. let’s see what else they and others will do to help the new generation face the new challenges of the 21st century.

    Hmmm. Seems like OT is trying a PR campaign. But let’s please pay close attention to the video.

    Ginsberg’s mesaage started with that the teachers are the core of any school and OT has wonderful teachers. But in the next snip he clarifies that they are asking for guidance and support.

    The teachers in their snips themselves speak of Ginsberg’s greatness.

    Ginsberg is the principal of another school; an experienced teacher and very involved and concerned and capable principal, manager and enabler.

    (The last teacher in this video thanks “the Vaad” (the volunteer board, Brook) that brought Ginsberg for this seminar, but the teacher’s thanks is clipped short).

    So, it sounds like OT has good teachers that hunger for good leadership and guidance.

    OK, so where to from here? Tease the teachers with an occassional capable leader and a glimpse of a real support system, or hire such leader?

  • OT fan.....

    I’m way out of town. But, I wish I could send my boys to a school like OT. When my boys go to camp with boys from OT, they are blown away with how learned the OT boys are!

  • ?????????

    thy need to change the staff in o.t. or it will kill the community (its not a snag school and its being run by a snags) help our community and get rid of the staff its time for change…

  • BR teacher

    Positive Reinforcement people, stop bashing the school. They are trying! As a teacher in a mosaid I can only say we have many challenges to face, give credit to the school for enabling their teachers with resources…

  • BTW

    by the way…

    there are teachers from other yeshivas there as well, not only OT.

    secondly……

    forget it..

  • Lose The Thing

    To BR Teacher: Credit is due to the volunteer parent who did everything to make this happen – in spite of roadblocks the school admin threw at him. To pat the school admin on its back for this (or allow the school to pat itself in public on its own back) would be reinforcing the ongoing wool-over-the-public-eye trickery.

    I pray for the day I can wholeheartedly give credit to the school’s leadership for something soundly educational (“mit hent un fis”) that they do from start to finish. Anything. One thing.

    Till then it’s just well-meaning teachers and one or two active parents in a vaccuum.
