Why are the Yeshivas to blame? There is a glitch in the schedule! Summer ends on labor day, let the camps and bungalow colonies stay open till then! Camps are in it for the money, bungalows are either for profit, or privately owned, Yeshivas are losing money, why should they provide a week of babysitting for free!?!?!?
OH! No! Bitul Torah they cry! Well try keeping schools open in July like in Lakewood and lets see the camps roll over and play dead and take aloss. Lets see bungalow colonies shut for July to keep the kids in school, mothers stay home with your husbands for another few weeks! Calamity! Never will happen.
But now their stuck, nebach with their own kids, no one to watch them, oy vey, the velt geit unter!!
Schools are for the klal by the klal, and deal with everyones problems and issues. Yeshivos are blamed for all things that go wrong in today’s society. Every colomnist, blogger and letter writer has an opinion or two about what the Yeshivos should be doing. Go ahead and volunteer your time, do it yourself, or help the Yeshiva that YOUR kid learns in and stop complaining!!
