The world of Chinuch has, by all accounts, been completely revolutionized, and is increasingly more professional every year. This is true by all measures, from the people entering the field, to the training and professional development.
The bogeyman of the “nightmare Chinuch” which might once have existed (but certainly never to the extent that some would have us believe) is no more.
It is time to appreciate Chinuch for what is, instead of condemning it for what might once have been. Your son and his Rebbe deserve no less.
