you want advanced chem bio math and programming to be taught in high schools?? sheesh…well, even in public where the whole budget goes to secular studies, those are optional…or on an honors track…heres how it worked where i went. we learned what we needed for the regents. then, we had the option to take a course in microsoft office. later, we had the option of taking calculus. i dont know if you mean that the advanced stuff should be mandatory or not…but think about it this way. first of all…a public school has a bigger budget. second of all, they have nothing to spend that budget on [strong]BUT[/strong] more programs. third of all, as important as secular studies (and it is important…), you still need to leave time for limudei kodesh. it is after all a yeshiva…the emphasis must be on limudei kodesh. if its the education offered at Stuyvesant you’re after…then go there.
