Well since I would think that people realistically must realize that no chinuch system can have 100% success rather 85% to 90% is realistic.
And we would equally realize that until say 15 years ago the Yeshiva system had a pretty impressive succes rate.
The Yeshiva system rebuilt an entire culture that we were told after the War was gone forever.
It turned out responsible Mothers and Fathers who could get married at a young age and stay married as well as raise children.
Many terrible things that were rampant in PS were absent in Yeshivos (for the most part).
Of course this began to change when “chinuch experts” pointed to the 10% of children that were unfortunatley falling through cracks and argued that that meant a wholesale change was need.
We now had to use educational methods from “proven” “trained” experts that would solve the issue.
Well sure they came to be.
The experts had their way.
But since the only place these “methods” and “proven” techniques had been implements were in PS, well believe it or not instead of solving an issue they made it ten times wors.
So the same experts who claimed that the issue was a lack of “affection” from teachers a lack of “loving” every child (go back and read the JO on Kids at Risk and its follow up).
were in a quandry.
You see.
They had their way.
The old system has been discredited, and they had their ideas implemented.
So why are things worse?
Well it can’t be that they were wrong.
It can’t be that Roshei Yeshivos and Rabbonim who were screaming NO! while they clucked and said “Ach them? they should stick to their Gemorah. they’re too old and out of touch, we’ll educate them”
It can’t be those Rabbonim were right.
No.
It’s a new problem.
Abuse!
A child goes off they’ve been abused, a marriage breaks down? Abuse!
We are not responsible for anything.
Once agin we are the Paul Revere’s! We are are warning you listen to us and our 6 figure salaries and ten degrees.
Ignore our results.
Ignore the fact that each and every place our “warnings” have been implementd has wound up unrecognizable.
If these “chinuch experts” want peace.
Then tell them to back off.
Tell them to get their hands off our schools and off our children.
Tell them that our children are not their guinea pigs.
Tell them they do not know better then the Torah.
If they leave us alone then sure we’ll them alone in return.
