“Another positive: Our dropouts come almost exclusively (I said ALMOST) from dysfunctional families.”
How is there anything positive about that? Doesn’t anyone feel any rachmonus for her at all?
I think there’s a lot of truth to the things that have been posted here about her upbringing, but what good will it do? If she comes here and reads this stuff, it’s just going to validate her decision to go off the derech in her mind.
I am greatly saddened that the tone here is ‘how it reflects on us’ rather than what a tragedy it is that she felt driven out of her own community. She didn’t get the nuturing she needed growing up, and she sure isn’t getting it now. She’s still a Yid, and she has a 5-year-old who is being influenced by her. I do hope it’s true that he’s in a MO school, and I hope that he is being treated with more compassion there than his mother received growing up.
