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

It doesnt take a kid long to go bad, or at least once you see the signs the kid has already been up to whatever it is for some time I would think.

Whats a Rebbe supposed to do if a kid is watching movies/tv shows at home and his mind is now warped? What can a Rebbe do? You think the kid is interested in what the Rebbe has to say?

I have watched movies and Tv in my day. I can attest that Rabbeim cant compete with the Movies, Tv, ipods, Xbox, playstations, handheld games (that can all access wifi internet) and cell phones.

If a kid has access to this stuff he wont have any interest in Torah and Torah will not go in.

The problem is that not only are these kids polluted, they pollute their friends as well. The kids get together by recess and what do you think they talk about? All of a sudden a kid who never saw a movie hears all kinds of filth. Hes curious. Now he wants to see it. He borrows his friends ipod or other hand held whatever device (that he can easily hide from his parents and will only watch under the covers in his room… or goes to the kids house Motzai Shabbos or Sunday and they watch some movies….thats how these things work. Its like a virus you can wipe out a whole class of kids in a short amount of time.

I dont have any solution and if you have one please provide it.
