folks you've got no idea how the school is imploding like a supernova because of horrible new policies. SAR will look much like 90s Ramaz in a handful of years
I very much so disagree with you. This so called "supernova" you describe is just the path of a normal highschool- to go from the disorganized, hectic, no rules creation to the orderly existence after firm establishment. As a member of the fourth grade ever (seniors 2010) I have seen it change and continue to change. But it will never be in the situation you described. It is SAR, and there is an essence to the institution that will always pervade.
You contradict yourself. By admitting that the school is changing from a "disorganized, hectic, no rules creation" into a "orderly, firm establishment" you effectively disqualify the "essence to [sic] of the institution" that once was.
Approving of the change is something completely different from maintaining that the change is actually linear and expected.
Also, of course SAR will always have its essence, but what sets it apart will grow smaller and smaller, until only the open classrooms and windowed walls will champion this "essence". I was communicating to the many graduates who watch this video that the school they remember is not the school that stands today. Next time an 8th-grader will have to decide between SAR & Ramaz, the differences will be over student body Jewish background and location, unlike the antediluvian "essence" you speak of.
I guess what it really comes down to is whether you are an optimist or a pessimist. I am an optimist so I can not comprehend the possibility that SAR will change into the institution you describe. Yes, the school is changing, but for the sake of future students, I hope I am right and not you. But I guess only time will tell.
In my opinion, time has already told us the truth. Look around you; open your eyes ('...look up to the skies and see...', sry can't help it). Freshmen are taking notes in Mr. Friedman's art class from a Smartboard! Sophomore music class is memorizing artists and years! Freshmen say they stay up till 2AM to garner A's in school! This is a travesty. I don't mean that people shouldn't learn anything, but I do believe that the school is disproportionate and imperializing when it comes to studentlife
I can understand your opinion if it was a response to Yishai Schwartz's last op-ed which dealt exactly with this issue, and which thesis was basically that the school is "going to the dogs" because of its growing strictness and nonstop policy-making; an institution that is automatized and robotic, a good-college factory, with continuously decreasing emphasis on the second clause of its official motto. Mr. Huber said this on the panel last Shabatton. Now, it's all around me and I'm calling it out
Wow this is amazing!!! Doni, Sammy and Gideon, gosh you're incredible! I'm not a senior, so I'm not really supposed to say this, but Seniors '09!! Whoo!! :)
