Reply To: Yeshiva High School Graduates versus Public High School Graduates

Special educational services from the Board of Ed are most frequently provided in mainstream yeshivos. Many yeshivos have resource rooms and these children attend mainstream classes.

Other parents might choose to send their child to a special yeshiva/school geared for his issues. But even in those cases it is in the vast majority of the time done at the decision of the parents who decided their child is best served there. It is very rare that the child was in a Yeshiva and the school forced them out against their wishes.

In making the aforementioned comparison suggested in this thread, I wasn’t suggesting comparing mainstream yeshiva children to special ed public school children. Both yeshivos and pubic schools have special ed children. The comparison can be made apples to apples.

In any event, I think it is fair to say that Yeshiva kids do quite well in secular studies and stand up respectable and better to public school kids in the same city/town as the Yeshiva kids.
