“Some of the Chassidishe yeshivas intentionally keep their students functionally illiterate in order to deter them from going off the derech”
I hope what you are saying is incorrect, but if true, keeping students functionally illiterate is no guarantee they won’t go OTD… More likely , it will guarantee they will be unable to earn a parnassah or find a kallah who has any aspirations for a normal life”
That is total bunk of both parts, some of the most successful people in the frum olam today have attended Chasidisher Yeshivas and the highest level of assimilation is coming from the MO community.
Back in history the area with the highest level of assimilation was the highly educated Germans and the lowest level was from the uneducated people of the Middle East and North Africa.
