Reply To: Education for all children

How can being neglected be good for a kid? They get the message that they don’t matter and that they’re worthless. They don’t even try to make friends, because why would anyone like someone who’s unworthy of the teacher’s attention? Eventually they are likely to go off the derech.

Also, from what I’ve seen, being educated does not harm people socially. It appears so because smart people are the same ones who often have trouble socially, but not because of over-education. Also, in most cases the world doesn’t miss their talent at all, but they do.
