If yeshivas are turning kids off from frumkeit, are they still worth it?
Its a hard balance – people don’t prioritize money for tuition. People don’t think about careers to go into to be able to afford their children’s tuition. Then we have to pay teachers low salaries.
I had a teacher in 8th grade that really screwed me up. She stressed 100% the wrong things in life (like it’s assur to wear skirts down to you ankles) and constantly contradicted many of our Rabbonim. It took me 4 years at a good high school to really straighten me out.
She’s still teaching :-/
I was lucky because I recovered.
