Of course yeshiva bochurim are respected. The ones that are seriously learning and also respect others. Not the ones who…
*wake up late and “roll” into first seder
*ditto for second seder and night seder
*posting opinions here in the coffee room in the middle of seder
*don’t respect baal habatim unless they need to squeeze us for money to support them
*tell baal habatim that they can’t get their kids into certain yeshivas if the father is working and/or “chas v’shalom” wears a colored shirt, etc…and this is just the tip of the iceberg
I think I can speak for everyone by saying that the true blue guys that really sit and learn are truly respected.
