what about the government has to provide an education to every kid by law? It is not so simple if a 100,000 frum kids registered into the public school system that it wouldn’t be a state of emergency. The state and the city would be forced into doing something radical. It is impossible to find sufficient for so many students even in 5 years. They would need to find a place by Labor day and they cant just say all you kids just stay home and do nothing.
Easy to say just pay for Yeshiva, perhaps you are much better off financially than most. Tuition is a big strain on the average frum family. There are people who have resorted to the public school system, and sadly it will become more common as tuition gets higher and unbearable.
