lkwdfellow, Just when I thought the ideas couldn’t get worse you went and proved me wrong.
It is hard enough for an 18 year-old to go to israel and shteig and not get caught up with the wrong crowd AND NOW YOU WANT 16 YEAR OLDS TO DEAL WITH THIS NISSAYON? Oh, and what will happen to high school in this brilliant idea of yours?
Let them grow, let them mature. Better wait 2 years if they (both guy and girl) will use these 2 years productively.
