Shindy, the problem is that you may feel this, but we can’t telegraph this as a global answer. We have to let the girls feel that an intown, or chutz l’aretz option that would be out of town or even out of the country (England e.g.) is just as genuine a sem. experience. If we can throw in a good Israel experience, say a summer, or visit during the year if a girl has a structure and family, etc. to share this with, harei zeh meshubach.
If it’s a growth issue, the girls will grow anywhere out of town (BTW when I say out of town here, I mean out of MY town). If it’s E”Y please let’s validate the experience of a good summer program, etc.
