It seems to me that a lot of the discussion that went on here missed the main point.
While the exact curriculum that was in the Bais Yackov’s of Europe may be a matter of dispute the cause that gave rise to the dispute is not.
The Haskala was sweeping through Europe and the Bais Yackov system was founded to combat it which it unarguably did.
Nowadays though we face a growing trend of “at risk” and another of divorce and a lack of true sholom bayis, based upon this one must ask the question are the Bais Yackovs accomplishing their goals?
