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

I’ll venture that even if you took all Yeshivos and Beis Yaakovs in the 50 United States compared to all public schools in all 50 United States, the Yeshiva guys and Beis Yaakov girls will come out on top. Even if I’m off somewhat, I’m fairly certain the average public school pupil in the 50 United States is not far above the average Yeshiva and Beis Yaakov pupil in secular studies.

And all this is despite the fact, as mentioned, Yeshiva and Beis Yaakov students get far less hours studying secular studies than their public school counterparts. And have a far richer and longer school curriculum than public schools.

And, furthermore, as I’ve mentioned above, this comparison is not even taking into account the great and very valuable practical life values that Yeshiva and Beis Yaakov students gain through their long, detailed and in depth advanced studies they have as part of their daily curriculum in Bible, Hebrew, Talmud, Aramaic, Jewish history, commentaries and much more that isn’t considered in these secular comparisons but provide significant educational and life benefits to Yeshiva and Beis Yaakov students.
