It’s an amazing thing. We have so many problems,
1) Fathers being banned from graduations
2) Kids not being allowed to socialize with opposite gender
3) Too much contact with opposite gender
4) Kids not being allowed to socialize with same gender
5) No guidance councilors (at least not ones who can keep a secret)
6) Parents and teachers who are too restrictive
7) Parents and teachers who are not restrictive enough
8) No classes in hashkafa
9) No classes in Sefer Hachinuch
10)Everyone expected to become Roshei Yeshivos (girls too?)
11)Being told what to do by the previous dor
12)Being taught wrongly
13)Teachers who misrepresent the obligation of a husband to support his wife as optional
13)Being emotionally suffocated
14)Stuffing kids in a box
15)Adults who are OFF
16)Blameworthy schools
17)Insistence on rule following
18)No fun allowed
19)No questions allowed
20)An unrealistic view of childhood
21)Studying Torah
22)Taking care of babies
and yet, so many of our children are not off the derech.
It’s unexplainable!
