I’m with those who say that learning secular studies is important. Why should it be that Jewish boys are illiterate? In the word that we live in, we are interacting with other ppl and we have to be knowledgable. Furthermore, no one knows the future and s/o that planned on learning might have go to work-and how do you expect them to find a job if they can’t speak English correct (yes, im serious!)or do math…It really bothers me that some boys have no respect for secular studies. Im not saying it should be their main focus. Even if they learn it twice a week thats fine.
