Reply To: Dose of reality: Kids kicked out of school

GAW

First of all I was talking a kid in the higher grades of elementary school and high school. You are taking sedarim so that’s beis medrash. No a bochur who is stam not interested in learning 3 sedarim (as long as he isn’t doing anything bad and bringing others down) doesn’t need to be transferred out. The issue is that often a guy who can’t keep the sedarim will look for company and he can shlep his friends (who ar more serious about learning then him, just they don’t have th backbone to say no to their friend) out of the BM to go hang out with him. This happens in every BM. Its really a tough call. There’s no easy answers.the bottom line is a kid, bocher whatever, doesn’t matter the age, once he is up to no good he will influence his friends. All the more so if it is a dorm or out of town yeshivah where the guys spend the nights together as well.
