“It seems to me that every single girl is taking some type of college courses”
Sure. They are all in some sort of excellerated program that will give them a piece of paper that allows them to teach, do some sort of special ed (most try in a yeshiva) or therapy. How many morahs, therapists and special ed jobs can the frum community support? I am referring to a professional degree that may take 3-4 years to complete in a college or university (not raizel wright and the like), which girls should have plenty of time to complete prior to marriage given that our leadership suddenly doesnt want them dating until 22 anyway.
“I don’t think the stigma of girls going to college exists anymore.”
Tell that to most girls who go to NYU, Parsons, Baruch and many other schools not named Touro, or some fly by night accelerated program.
“Even if I’m wrong about that won’t sending the girls to more school only increase the maturity gap between boys and girls?”
Not sure about maturity, but will certainly widen the educational gap 🙂
