AAQ, I really dont care what a MO rabbi says against chazal, rishonim and poskim across the board. A mechalel shabbos loses the din of a yisroel. People who are not “oseh maaseh amcha” are not in the pasuk of amcha, amiso, etc..
And that’s what I quote when I teach. Word for word, pasuk, gemara, rishonim. I don’t add in anything of my own.
And they don’t run around calling other Jews names or making fun of them. Because they know there’s a zero tolerance policy for bullying of any sort. It all goes together; like I said, you can be aware of someone’s level and status without treating them badly, which is one of the most important lessons a child can learn. Otherwise, they end up adults with no sense of justice, as can be evidenced above.
I also don’t stress the negative aspects. I spend 99% of the time talking about how much of a privilege it is to learn and keep the torah, and how lucky we are to be jews, and not just frum jews, but jews who have the opportunity to sit and learn torah. And here and there I’ll talk about the darkness of a life without torah. Because ahavah and yirah are both necessary.
Schools look at the products of a classroom, and while they may not agree with every thing I say, they like how my kids turn out. Like I said, I have a very, very low drop out rate, much lower than the 20% average for MO and less than the 10% average for mainstream yeshivos.
You would actually want a beis din to refund your tuition for the teaching of pesukim according to chazal? I hope you’re exaggerating.
