The kids know it too

There is some turbulence on the Aussie Echo. But this comment by the gefilte fish sounds true around the world:

The PTB [powers that be] has forgotten the original purpose of the schools' existence. For them, their control and authority, has replaced the original Chabad ideals. In their minds their authority and power has become the raison d'etre of the schools. They have convinced themselves that maintaining their control and authority is in the best interests of everyone. They identify their own personal agendas as the purpose of the school. Their egocentric views taints everything they do and they find it difficult to comprehend that many parents cannot agree with their view of things.

Not only does this school lack Chabad hashkafas, it also lacks basic ethics and morality. Only machers and money rule. The kids know it too. If a new school opened tomorrow a majority of parents would jump ship. What are we waiting for? How many more children have to go down the drain before we do something? And people are worried about bad publicity from this blog [Aussie Echo]? That is the least of our problems.
