Daasyochid…”presumably, the menahel who hired a rebbe vouched for his appropriate level of scholarship for his position.”
If only that was true.
Too many day schools and primary grade yeshivos have faculties populated by relatives of the Menahel. Many lack the appropriate level of scholarship.
When you live out of town, you often have no choice as to which yeshiva or day school to send your youngsters. This is why we made 60 minute trips each way to take our kids to yeshiva in another city when they were in 2-5 grades.
