On the yeshiva’s part, it is so wrong!
These boys who already spend 10 months a year in yeshiva need a break sometimes. It’s one thing if the yeshiva encourages their talmidim to come for a month in the summer. But to force every kid to go? It’s outrageous. Many boys live the whole year, literally counting down the days till summer. The summer is a time for kids to relax, make new friends, show their talents,and of course have fun, without the pressures they feel in school. Isn’t the summer time called “vacation?”
Also, all of the “good” batei medrashim now require their talmidim to attend this extra 1 month program. Many of the bochurim from these yeshivos would otherwise be working in camps as counselors and such, but yeshiva requires them to stay for at least a month. If all the good bochurim have to to be in yeshiva during the summer, who are our children’s counselors? Are the camps taking guys from not such great yeshivos as counselors since all the “good guys” are stuck in yeshiva?
