Vogue: The difference is the difference between a secular, areligious (I just made up the term, unless it exists and I’m just unaware of it- I mean it in the same sense as amoral- meaning devoid of religion, not anti-religion) school and a religion-centric school. The public school couldn’t care less whether you agree with the Regents test. A Jewish school will care about whether you agree with what they consider is the right path, as they don’t want you following what they consider is the wrong one. Either way, you’ll probably take Regents exams. If you argue with kollel, you may not learn in kollel or marry a guy who does.
