This, in fact, is seen as a drawback. In the second case, consultation is part of the process, and the head of an organization engages in this with fellow workers. This culture clash in leadership perception leads many Muslim school teachers to quit in frustration, she says. One problem many parents complain about is the cost of Muslim schools. In fact, cost is in some cases the defining factor in whether or not a child goes to a Muslim school or not.
Many Muslim schools discount their official rates for true hardship cases.
But not all Muslim schools fit this description. It offers schooling for girls only from grades 4 until 12, and education for boys at the elementary level. According to Khawla Nassar, an Arabic and Religion teacher at the school, their graduates have gone on to Harvard and Yale, have pursued medicine, law, or have continued seeking higher degrees even after getting married and having children. Some parents fear their kids will become closed and insular if they attend a school of Muslims only. I have seen many children who went to Islamic schools who cannot interact with their American neighbors.
