WOW, I saw you post about too much learning.
I was in the book store this week and I saw a book about “Complicated” Chinuch Questions and I was shocked about the “questions” that were in the book. The questions were like, My Son likes to watch Sports, how do I stop it. My daughter came out from Camp with Goyish songs on her iPod.
I did NOT see any topics about , My Kid is learning too much, My Kid doesnt know anything about secular topics.
My kids Rebbe hit my kid and now my kid is scared to go to school and REAL problems, not made up ones (or minor ones anyway)
When I was ready to go to college, I got tons of catalogs from Colleges asking me to apply and to visit. Even the places I did visit made an effort to encourage me to enroll. It was a buyers market.
In Chinuch it seems its a SELLERS market. The school makes the demands and kids and parents fall in line if they like it or not for fear of a ‘bad Shidduch” or “Being Kicked out”. People are unwilling to question the R’Y for fear of “Kavod” no matter how badly the school is run
