Parents in Negev town build, administrate school on their own
Haaretz - August 14, 2009
Every parent wants to give his or her child the best education possible, but
in most cases it seems that is not available. In light of problems in the
education system, sometimes getting the most important educational
resource - teachers with vision and initiative - is a matter of chance. At
Moshav Sde Tzvi in the Negev, on the other hand, the parents decided to take
action and put the task of educating their children into the hands of people
whom they could count on - themselves.
A new private school is currently being established in their community
featuring a unique educational model in which Dad will teach math and Mom
will check the children's homework. Thirty-two students from pre-school age
to 5th grade will study at the school, which will be called "Merhav", an
open expanse or space in Hebrew. They will be taught by the parents, in
addition to four professionally trained teachers.
The parents didn't leave the physical facilities to others, either.
