School dilemma - we can either send our kids to a subpar orthodox school or a lovely conservative school, which is better?
Obviously I’m simplifying here but the issue is the orthodox school really is subpar. Not good academically, the teachers are overworked, etc etc.
the conservative school is great.
The only thing the orthodox school has going besides hashkafa is more kids so more social opportunity, and the families are more like us socio-economically.
The key here is- we’re not super observant. We are traditional. And politically conservative. That’s where the conservative school falls short mostly as they have a liberal idealogy.
