Gavra, thank you for your eloquent posts. I do disagree that it’s too late to retrain a boy of 13. What is necessary is for yeshivos to be more proactive with their bachurim, and I see little indication of that. It could be because many of the people they hire as rebbeim themselves don’t hold the values described in the biography. Without opening another can of worms, from what I can see, yeshivos don’t have a class on middos or hashkafa that would instill boys with better values.
