(lives here with the students) - The leadership of the parents at the Ramat Hanasi school in Haifa announced today (Mon. 5/2/24) that it will shut down classes at the school starting this coming Wednesday, 7/2/24, this after discovering, in the last few days, surprisingly, that the municipality of Haifa does not intend to implement her promises, according to which high school levels will be established in the school, which was defined from the beginning as a growing school.
According to the announcement of the parents' leadership, there will be a partial shutdown on Wednesday, and starting Thursday 8/2/24, there will be a full shutdown, without a time limit.
The parents' leadership also informed that on Friday 9/2/24, there will be a demonstration on the matter.
Stop growing?
The Ramat Hanasi school in Haifa opened about three years ago and from the beginning was defined as a growing school, which means that every year another class will open there. At first there was a layer of 2th grades, when at the end of the school year, it was opened for the students and together with them, a layer of 2th grades and so on, accordingly. However, as was published in Hai Pa last Friday (24/XNUMX/XNUMX), the parents of the students were surprised to discover that the Haifa municipality has no intention of fulfilling the promises they had received all along, and in fact, there is no intention of opening high school classes at the school.
The parents, as mentioned, announced that they have no intention of giving up and announced that they will take drastic measures in order to prevent the evil of the decree.
The parents' letter to the Ministry of Education - for your reference:
The school is closed
The parents and students at the growing Ramat Hanasi school were amazed to discover that although they were assured all along that the school would be six years long and include a division and a high school, the Haifa municipality does not intend to open a high school.
This means that the students who finish the 2024th grade this year (XNUMX) will have to find another high school for the next academic year, which will not be in their residential neighborhood and there are many chances that they will not continue to study together with their classmates.
As I remember, 3 years ago the school was opened as a growing school, that is, in the first school year only 4th grade students studied there and every year another layer was added. The parents and the students thought that next school year the students, who are currently studying in the XNUMXth grade, would go up to the XNUMXth grade and the school would have XNUMX levels of study (XNUMXth-XNUMXth), but they discovered to their surprise that the Haifa municipality does not plan to open a high school and will allow the students to study in any of the high schools in the city. According to the parents, they have no intention of giving up and a great injustice will be done to their children and to them. They intend to shut down school after holding an emergency meeting.
The chairman of the parents' leadership at the school, Gadi Narojni: "We are trying with all our might not to open the high school"
The chairman of the parents' leadership at the school, Gadi Narojni: "Three years ago, they decided to open the school as a growing school. The school was supposed to be elementary, and in the end it was decided to turn it into a division. Everyone was talking about it being a six-year school. There was even signage throughout the school.
However, to our surprise this year there was an open day for 24.1.24th graders, but not for high school. Last Wednesday XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX the school principal called me and told me that there would be no high school. According to him, he also did not know about the change and he himself was looking for majors for high school. I must say that we are all very satisfied with him and our claims are not against him. I sent a message to Ilana Truk, the director of the education department in the municipality, and asked for an immediate meeting. I explained that it is not possible for the family formed at school to be destroyed like this.
"I told the municipality that it can't be"
When the parents heard these things, they rushed to meet with the municipality. Narojni adds: "Last Sunday 28/01 we came to a meeting with Ilana Truk. The representatives of the municipality explained that there is not enough registration to open a school. We said that we made a list of those who want to register during the weekend and there are more students than they think.
On Wednesday, January 31.1.24, 27, I was informed by the municipality that 12 children had registered by email, and said that they preferred Ramat Hanasi High School. According to the municipality, 9 parents from the school chose other schools. XNUMX more parents have not yet contacted the municipality. The parents who chose other high schools told us before that they wanted Ramat Hanasi High School, so it was very strange to me.
I told the municipality that it couldn't be. I contacted the municipality and said that this is not acceptable to us. I issued a notice to all parents that on Sunday 4.2.24 there is an emergency meeting where we will decide when to shut down the school until further notice.
The parents who came with children in the 80th grade to the open day at the school were very enthusiastic about the school, and over XNUMX children enrolled in the XNUMXth grade for the next school year. There is a demand for the school, and it should be opened to more areas in Haifa and thus there will be a third grade. I feel that they are trying with all their might not to open the high school. Their argument is that there won't be enough kids for high school majors, but it's a growing school, it's growing little by little.
We are looking for any possible solution. We worked so hard to have a school in the neighborhood, we demonstrated, we moved from apartment to apartment to find students and now we are being canceled at the last minute. The parents director is ready to help the education department in everything to open a high school in a school.
We have reserve parents in our classes, why do they have to deal with such a situation? If the parents wanted their children to go to one of the other high schools in the city, they would have sent them back when the children were in middle school. You can wisely sit down and find a way to open trends. Over the years there will be more children in each grade and there will be more majors."
Mother of a 9th grade student: "I don't understand why to hurt all the students of the class"
The mother of one of the girls who is studying in the 9th grade this year tells how difficult it is for her and her daughter to deal with the decision not to open the school: "We are calling an emergency meeting on Sunday. We will shut down the school. We are angry at the clear decision that there will be no high school. My daughter is very Frustrated because we were all promised that there would be a high school. The teachers also said that they would prepare the students for matriculation.
The principal of the school did not issue a notice or document or contact us parents in an orderly manner to inform us of the decision not to open 10th grade. I received the news from my daughter last Wednesday. When she told me that, I told my daughter that maybe it was just a rumor. In the morning I talked to the principal of the school, and he told me it was true.
A month ago, on the parents' day held at the school, we were told not to look for another school, because we continue together. From what we know, in 2027 there will be a six-year school in Naot Peres, but that is no reason not to have a high school here. My daughter is anxious because she doesn't know where she will study next year.
I'm sad that this is the case. We went to Ilana Truk and did not get clear answers. Why harm 49 children? It's a shame they didn't do an open day and try to market the high school. I don't understand where they were until now. It's too late to look for another school."
9th grade student: "I don't sleep at night because I think what will happen to me next school year"
A student in the ninth grade at the school says how much the decision affected her: "I am very sad because I had a very positive experience at the school and with the supporting staff. We planned to stay all friends together and not split up and now we will study separately. We were informed that there is no high school at the very last minute.
I think it might cause me problems socially and academically. It's hard, I don't sleep at night because I think what will happen to me next school year. I am unequivocally in favor of shutting down school. I must say that the manager is really, really good, he always waits for us at the gate in the morning. He knows each student and his needs and knows how to help him to get the best out of him."
I volunteer teaching at this school. The motivation of the staff and the students is tremendous. I don't understand why the municipality is trying to prevent a boom in a neighborhood that wants and needs it so much!
McCollish doesn't miss out on ruining the education system with her Azizioni sigil
It turns out that she is Yahav's 1:1 twin. He closed 6 schools and destroyed the state education system in Haifa and Klish and Sigel are just continuing the work.
Another omission, only a protest will stop decisions that were not made with students and parents in mind
Haifa was always more beautiful than Tel Aviv. In my eyes, Tel Aviv is full of buildings, crowded and full of cats in the streets at every corner and there is not a clean street.. Haifa has beautiful natural forests. The view is amazing. All the young people chose to live there only because of the high-tech centers. . A society open to all
An acceptable transition. The cost of living is skyrocketing for players. Rent at the salary limit in a construction apartment over 7500 and a large apartment over thirty thousand per month. The rabbi They returned to their parents' houses. Because they ran out of budgets. . In Haifa you can live and raise children. In Tel Aviv it is good to raise only dogs and cats.
Sad but there is no good reason to live in Haifa. Dirty, neglected, wild west in the streets, crumbling schools and a municipality that only God knows what it does with four billion shekels every year.
This is a classic method of municipalities, to fake low enrollment in educational institutions they want to close. They also did it for the democratic alums in Netanya, after promises to grow into a division from elementary. And to many more good ones. Instead of being men and saying why they are really closing the school and what they are planning instead - lie to parents and students, and the same constant lie. Every time you are told that there was a low enrollment in some high school or elementary school and that is why they are closing, you will know that the municipality has decided to close, no matter what, even two hundred registrants will not move it.
On the one hand, they are evacuating the Benue David building and building another phase at the level of the president, which will add hundreds of children who need schools, on the other hand, they are not opening a high school.
This is how an insane municipality works.
On the one hand, they will vacate the building of Neveh David and build another level at the president's level, which will add hundreds of children who need schools, on the other hand, they will not open a high school.
This is how an insane municipality works.
Mayor Eyal must do things quickly and not let the environment become obsolete. Something that remains neglected. Empty and desolate. Causes shady types like homeless people. This place is very dangerous. And you have to think about how to use this place, it is forbidden for a burglar to remain, a voice calling for a burglar. I was sad to see my school in the first place. I inquired and they explained that. The surrounding population are all adults. And Laan stopped. birth name .the heartache. head. A city had to plan for today, tomorrow, new apartments were built. And today Mayor Yona Yahav invented it.
her promise
In my opinion, the Haifa municipality should maintain its slowness. Good and blessed Shabat for every one
My son is studying at school and going to class. It is impossible that they will not continue in the school that is growing. All the students that were promised to us and to the children that were promised to us by the parents and to the students that they would prepare them for graduation and now with a wave of their hands they will cancel what the parents and the students promised us will not happen and I am in favor of shutting down the school for as long as necessary
Harming children, the mayor does not care about the children and education in the city!!
This building is not suitable to be a high school. It is better for children to have more choices and social options. They will lose from having one or two grades in high school. There won't be enough majors, appropriate study units, etc. In many places there is a division separate from high school, so the transition to high school is reasonable and logical.
Haifa is the city of the elderly that abuses young families
That's how the mayor Y.Y. Closed 10 years ago 6 state schools such as Kishon and Ma'ale HaCarmel because there were "only" 150 registrants and not 200. They canceled the possibility of region-wide registration and then said that there were not enough registrants just like at the level of the president. And they immediately transferred the buildings to the ultra-orthodox public, where for some reason it is possible to open a school with less than 200 students. You got it. That's how they steal from us.
At the level of the president, on the one hand, they are evacuating buildings and adding hundreds of families, and on the other hand, they are making them drive students far from the neighborhood or have to pay huge sums for private education. This is how families are smuggled out of Haifa. The city of the elderly - does not want more high schools. From an economic burden, the money is needed for the huge pensions of the municipality's retirees.
