Sorry for not being too optimistic, but this is one of the reasons I would never send my children to any public kindergarten or school, at least not in Israel. Do you have maybe a private place in Ashdod? I think i've heard of the Montessori kindergarten there, could it be? Good luck with your decision...Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876205340533561739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387984571168100978.post-77067241329772351062010-09-02T14:28:35.149+02:002010-09-02T14:28:35.149+02:00I hate to sound like a broken record, but I nodded...I hate to sound like a broken record, but I nodded in agreement with everything Quixotic wrote. First and foremost is Maya's well being - get her out! <br /><br />This may be a ridiculous suggestion, but is there anyway you can homeschool her until you find another center? The crooked politics and secret maneuverings within education departments (in any country) are reason 1,001 why we are choosing to homeschool our son.<br /><br />I completely understand and agree with your frustration - you have every right to feel as you do!

We wrote letters and we threatened with sabotaging the center on Fridays. I understood from the mums' delegation to the City Council that they are looking into the situation and, at least this Friday the helper won't come to the kindergarten. But as I said before, it is also a problem of principles...<br />Still don't know what I am going to do.<br />x<br />RamonaAlone in Holy Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02117747490042171507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387984571168100978.post-45611339269110928782010-09-02T13:13:09.622+02:002010-09-02T13:13:09.622+02:00How terrible for you, and it is unfair for the sch...How terrible for you, and it is unfair for the school to put you n such a position. <br /><br />Quixotic said everything that is in my heart.; I agree with her i00 per cent.Angelj052@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303106138421285089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387984571168100978.post-45568379944123972972010-09-02T13:06:15.506+02:002010-09-02T13:06:15.506+02:00What a horrible situation to be put in.

It doesn't address the whole matter of principle, but as Mums our main priority is for our own children first, then the bigger picture.<br /><br />Even if she doesn't have tuberculosis currently, she has shown that she is irresponsible enough to continue to work with children when she has a serious (life-threatening) easily-communicable disease.<br /><br />I would be making complaints to the centre, the governing bodies, Councils etc., whoever you can think of, and encouraging the other mothers to do so as well. Perhaps if the centre doesn't have any children through the gates they will realise the severity?<br /><br />Plus it sounds like you have problems with Maya's existing teacher, and frankly, if the centre are going to allow this sort of thing, Maya is better off in another centre.<br /><br />Don't stand for it, follow your instincts and protect your child.Quixotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378864818017610840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387984571168100978.post-9921025505375742652010-09-02T13:00:34.848+02:002010-09-02T13:00:34.848+02:00Well, first of all, I am very grateful that all my...Well, first of all, I am very grateful that all my kids received the BCG shots in Hungary/Armenia (and you can be sure I'll make sure they get their boosters in time!) <br /><br />The question is, was she simply treated, or the sentence she HAD TB is correct?, as in it's past tense? If she was cured, and she is confirmed not to be contagious, than she should be allowed to work with children, and anything to the contrary would pretty much be the usual witch hunt. If she is like Typhoid Mary, she should be removed not only from gans but from the general population. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492649968147186399noreply@blogger.com
