yeshivah kids are not reliable arbiters of what constitutes a good bochur to be accepted into a yeshivah. This is hitting an old nerve of mine, because something along these lines once happened to me before high school. I was the one asked about recommending students for getting certain grades in class, and I was very much shocked that the person who asked for my input, did so. I immediately said I was not comfortable with being put in that situation and excused myself from the conversation. It was a VERY, VERY awkward situation for me, knowing that this person was basically asking me, a student, to unethically give out the grades that I deemed “proper.” Don’t ask me how I resolved the situation – it was a private matter, and I would not disclose what I did to handle it.
