Dear Yserbius,
Your making stuff up. If there were competent, affordable teachers it would happen. As it is, there are enough options that have some English program. It’s weird that your so confident about what Lakewood thinks, when you are openly inferring their ideology from what you decided is going on.
(That made me laugh. I’m not Lubavitch at all!)
I got 4 + 3 + 1 = 8. You got ten. See my first paragraph.
“The kids will never learn it.” Says you.
Now let’s get back to what the OP was talking about. (Most of) these kids have not spent even one day in Mesivta. They are younger then you think. Their troubles go back to around fifth grade. One would not automatically assume that they know long division.
