DY: I have long been leery of those stats of OTD rates for several reasons
We’ve discussed this. I do believe the numbers, even if true, are misleading, but no doubt they’re higher than in the yeshivish community.
Interestingly, they were quoted by a modern Orthodox rav, so his agenda wasn’t to besmirch MO, but perhaps to garner attention to the problem.
it’s probably Mistaber if it’s true for the reason ZD said
Again, not if true in the communities which do speak English and have a secular education.
