In my literacy narrative, I focused heavily on the Persian side of me and how the Persian mentality plays a role on education. I think for this paper, I may stray a bit away from that side, and talk more about the Jewish side of me, specifically in regards to Jewish education, also referred to as Yeshiva Education. A Yeshiva is a Jewish institution that focuses on the study of traditional religious texts. Since K through 12, my siblings and I have attended modern orthodox yeshiva schools, and so we had a dual-curriculum (secular and hebrew studies) and long days (usually from 8 to about 5pm). Jewish families choose to send their children to Yeshivas for many reasons: to maintain Jewish values and traditions, community purposes, to retain the Hebrew language, etc. However, Yeshiva tuition is very expensive. Some people have considered the idea of Hebrew language charter schools as a possible solution to the Yeshiva tuition expense problem. Hebrew language charter schools are publicly-financed K-8 schools teaching Modern Hebrew to religiously, linguistically, and culturally diverse students. Since 2007, these types of schools have emerged in cities all over the United States. Because these schools are publicly funded, they’re curriculum is very limited and also irreligious. In my paper I would like to explore the charter school options, possibly through the Jewish sense, and discuss whether or not their school’s philosophies will be able to fulfill the goals of a typical day-school Yeshiva. Though my parents did not send me to a Hebrew language charter school, I feel that it still relevant to my personal story as I have grown up in a two language home (actually three, including Farsi) and also have experience with Yeshivas. The purpose of my paper would probably be discussing the success or failure of language-specific charter schools. I’m not 100% set on this, but I thought this would be very interesting to research!
