what sheichus chessmasters?!? as for switching yeshivos..we do, we switch branches. plus the derech halimud and hashkafos in other yeshivos are just so out of touch sometimes with CC that people dont switch, and by the way i know many CC guys who DO attend other yeshivos. in slabodka did they go to college at night…as for that. in slabodka i doubt they had the opportunities that we now have with touro and the like. we have the opportunity to attend a seperate college full of mostly jews. i doubt they had that there.
as for the derech halimud, we dont claim that our DERECH HALIMUD comes from slabodka…we say our emphasis on mussar is from slabodka. our derech halimud comes more from the chofetz chaim (who was r’ dovid’s uncle i believe) and by the way…what you said about a few blatt…that is just a stereotype. we do cover ground…just covering ground is not our main objective in iyun. our main objective is to gain as much of an understanding, and reach the true pshat in the sugya we are dealing with. to cover ground we have bekiyus. although let it be said we go in depth in our bekiyus too,,,but we cover a lot more ground. as for sending out groups of boys to other yeshivos…may we be zoche
