1st timer, very nice idea. I would add that there should be some sort of program in the yeshiva that gives a particular role of responsibility to each student over a group of students, or at least over one other student. We already have positions such as a dorm counselor, kitchen helper, waiter, etc. I think it would be very beneficial for EVERY student to have a role of responsibility, which helps him focus on not only looking after himself (which, in my opinion, is what many yeshiva boys only do), but rather be aware of the needs of other people. That can help greatly in marriage.
Regarding the original point made on this thread, I agree with it. And I’m sure that many wives, because of this system, know Tanach better than their husbands. But what’s the point of that?
My sisters went to a school that had a “secondary” program, meaning, for the students that were failing academically, there was a program consisting of heavy emphasis on arts and crafts, dance, drama, cooking, etc. that the students took part in, and their final grades were modified to passing grades as long as they took part in these activities. I think that is a wonderful idea.
