Reply To: High school girls with Internet access

“So you can now take Machon Raaya off your list of potential seminaries.”

No offense, cinderella, but Machon Raaya never was on our list of potential seminaries, for reasons other than girls having internet access. Now we have another reason not to want to send our daughter there. We might consider a seminary where SOME of the girls have had internet access, but definitely not a seminary where the majority of girls have. We would rather send our daughter to a seminary where at least MOST of the girls come from homes where it is understood that it is not good for teenagers to have unsupervised access to the internet.

Also, I find your tone very offensive – ” What a ridiculous factor in your decision.” If wanting to protect our daughter from the possibility of being exposed to the tuma’ah and schmutz out there on the internet is considered ridiculous, then so be it. I’d rather be safe and ridiculous, than sorry.
