In this article from the Jewish Week, Gary Rosenblatt acknowledges the sorry state of Jewish day school education in the United States - and government subsidies are just one of the unrealistic solutions he has to offer:
Jewish Day School Model May Now Be Thing Of Past
Rather than pretending to have a viable answer, Rosenblatt's editorial entreats the Jewish community to finally come to grips with the issue, in order to tackle it head-on: "Loyal day school families, long faced with financial hardships in meeting rising tuition costs, cannot assume that God, the schools or grandparents will provide somehow... It's time to re-introduce the subject with a renewed sense of urgency."
The article concludes by plugging a forum on the subject to be held on May 20th (and moderated by Rosenblatt) entitled: Is there a solution to the Jewish Day School Crisis? And Who Cares?
