Islamic schools in Europe and America

THAT EVEN KINDERGARTENERS SEND EACH OTHER LOVE LETTERS mg:

My children are in public school now. I received a note from the teacher the other day that my kindergartener should wear "romantic" clothes for Valentine's Day. What are "romantic" clothes and why should my little guy be wearing them?!?!? Furthermore, I don't want him to even know this word, or be viewing little gals in their idea of "romantic" wear. Oh, were there a good Islamic school near us......yes, I'm working on several (need I say drastic) alternatives.

For the most part, I like the school, but there are quite a few days I have considered keeping them home.

I could be interested in partnering with others to open a good school....:muslimah:

I know of an Islamic primary and secondary school in my city. I've finished that particular part of my education now, but I'll look into it for future reference.

As to all this kindergarten inappropriateness - I can only wonder what would result if Arnold Schwarzeneggar became a role model for pre-school teachers following his comic turn in 'Kindergarten Cop'.

'READING, WRITING, ARITHMETIC! DOING HOMEWORK MAKES ME SICK!'

Ah, Arnie. If only you'd become a drill-sergeant for pre-pubescents instead of the Governator.

What are "romantic" clothes

A novelty costume shaped like a giant human heart.

That's right - the real deal, not some silly fake chocolate box shape. Complete with pulsing aorta and guzzling ketchup.

and why should my little guy be wearing them?!?!?

Um... biology lessons?

Wait till they start teaching about the eye...

I am getting into the spirit now. I still have a day or so left to grab my fabric and sewing kit- maybe just markers will do. I'm thinking an entire "musculo-skeletal" system suit. (After all, why stop at just the heart?!) It will be better than Halloween.......

That's not necessarily true, do not make such assumptions. I've been in public school for my whole life, inshaa Allaah I'm going to finish this year, and to be honest the sisters that I know that have gone to Islaamic school have been yearning to go to a public school. Why? Because they claim more fitnah goes in their than it does in public schools. Now will I make an assumption or generalization based on that claim? No, because I don't know for a fact that if that is true, it's just hearsay. ISNA is a good Islaamic school, so is Banat (both located in the Ontario area), but the sisters who have attended there end up going to a public school later on! I'm not trying to bring down Islamic schools at all, mashaa Allaah to those who build them up and let little children and teens learn about their deen, but it's just not up to standards (as much as public schools are)! I do not have to compromise my faith in public school, you just have to have the initiative to say, ''Miss I need to pray, can I leave class for five minutes?" What's the problem? I do that all the time. Some teachers say no, and I just go anyway or I talk to the principal and he gives me (and others) a note with permission to pray. It's quite odd seeing as how some of the teachers who refuse to let students leave are Muslims themselves. Subhan Allaah!

Mashaa Allaah to my school, the brothers there are top brothers mashaa Allaah. Every Friday we have an imaam come in to do the khutbah, and we all pray in the small gym (it used to be a swimming pool). And how did we do so? The brothers took the initiative to go to the principal and tell them that it's their religious obligation and duty to pray Salat-ul Jumcaa, and alhamdulilah now we all can.

All in all, I find fault in the fact that you believe such a ridiculous claim. No offense to you brother. :rollseyes
