Dear Lakewood community, We all heard the good news from the governor announcing that day camps can open on July 6.
Perhaps we all need to readjust our normal schedule. Instead of boy camps opening at the end of July, all day camps should open July 6 for 4 weeks. Schools can then reopen in mid-August.
If schools reopen on July 6, not much learning can really take place.
Although this isn’t the normal schedule, nothing that has been going on until now has been regular!
A fellow Lakewood citizen
stop with the camps already let the kids go back to school and have it like summer school strait through with a week or 2 vacation at the end of summer before new year
Im sure posting the suggestion on Lakewood Scope is best way to have your suggestion happen in this town
That wouldn’t be fair to those of us who rely on the school’s July program as a low cost summer camp.
Don’t be so quick to assume camps will be opening in July. We have yet to see what the regulations are, and they may make it unfeasable for the camps.
Last week His Highness Mr. Murphy announced outdoor graduations will be allowed from July 6. When the details came out, it showed that it would be limited to the amount of people allowed to congregate outdoors at that time; currently 25. Shkoyach!
To: Let’s Get Back To School
Judging from your horrendous spelling and grammar, I would suggest, if anyone were to go back to school, that it would be YOU!
Please don’t preach onto others, as you should be doing yourself.
Um, no… we planned a family trip months ago for August and have no intentions to send our kids to school at that time!
Why are we talking about school that’s up to the governor
And where are staff coming from?? No bachurim or yungerleit can take off yeshiva… try to look at the big picture…
The time has come, Lakewood. We should have done this years ago. Time to enroll in Public School all together as a group and get extended school year for all. Let the gvmt figure this one out and we have nothing to lose, because there is no school anyway. We can learn something from Kiryas Yoel.
Henny,
No one in public school is getting extended school year. If you put kids in public, you could save thousands, for the low low cost of their neshama. No crazy tuition. No worrying about finding your oldest daughter a high school, the town will put her in the nearest school. You won’t have to wait on 5 bus stops every day- all the local boys and girls will ride the same bus (and be mixed in class). The dreaded kallah classes will be a thing of the past, those schools teach it by age 12. And they get to learn it all in mixed classes, with teen girls in short skirts. Did I mention it’s all free?
People say that the gvmt is the winner with frum kids going to private schools. The truth is that Lakewood has a lot to lose by sending kids to public.
@Nooo…
Sounds self centered. It’s not about you. There are hundreds of children.
To uncommon sense.
You are missing the point. Based on the Governors track record, it is very likely that there will not be regular school next September. At best he will allow 10 kids in a class at a time. Based on our class sizes, this means that practically we will not have any school or at best each student can attend school once a week or so . As soon as a few new cases of Covid come back ,he will likely cancel school altogether and go back to full home distance learning. The comment by Henny was made in that context. If our kids are sitting home anyway, we may as well register in public school .
