Reply To: Can we have an adult conversation about education?

AviraDeArah is engaging in the typical scare mongering whenever someone wants to discuss the educational problems in the chassididsh world. The whole mess that we are in is because people from the Chassidish velt complained to the government about (some of) their schools. We all know that there is a significant amount of chassidishe yeshivas that provide very poor education. Solidarity with them also means them actually changing their system so that they don’t harm our Litvish schools that are much better at meeting standards and not drawing attention to ourselves. This whole discussion would be different if after looking at mainstream Litvish schools in NY the government decided they needed to be interfered with. However, for many Chassidishe schools the government has a valid taana and unless there is change with them our Litvishe schools are going to have to continue to put up a fight that we did not ask for.
