Nechomah – I agree with you 100% I think we were talking apples and oranges. I see now the word is scooter, but here where I live all the boys are on those segway/hoverboard things so maybe it’s different. They do not ride in the streets and they are wearing helmets. I have not seen them “driving” recklessly. I definitely have a “safety first” attitude and when these things first came out the police stopped the use of it pretty quick telling the boys they could not ride them on the sidewalk or the street. Somehow things changed (maybe because it was not a covid issue so they dropped it)
So my exaggerated and over dramatic response was the need of the OP to make a post expressing some flaw in the yeshiva boys and their schooling in any way possible. Nothing about the OP mentioned safety, it was all about opening yet another door to complaining about yeshiva boys and yeshivas.
(I call it stupidity because how a person gets to school is about distance and timing. The idea that because their 9 hour day does not include formal phys ed, they most certainly must be inactive. Hogwash)
Now we can open a new thread about the non yeshiva boys who come home after only 7 hours to spend even more hours a day on their devices …. hmm… doesn’t quite have the same zing to it.
