jewishness -“Having said that, I do not live in Lakewood. But I have considered it. This is one of the issues I would like to clarify. Any info is appreciated.”
I clarified it and so have others. Right now in Lakewood there is No modern school. The Dayschool closed down awhile ago. The rule of all the Frum schools in Lakewood is Internet is Not allowed in the home. Period. Are there exceptions to the rule? Yes, but to get an exception -you’d have to prove to your Rov that it’s needed for business and you have a filter. Noone gives bogus Ishurs.
Do people lie about having the Internet at their home? Yes, but don’t forget -it might be many years that your kids are in school, (incl. high school) esp. if you have many or even a few kids. It’s quite possible that somehow it will leak out (Lakewood is a big Bungalow colony -almost everywhere) and then you will either have to home school or send out of town to school. I’ve been here awhile and the ones that take chances – a lot of them think – it will be overlooked if they find out – the truth is – almost never will they overlook it. People live dangerously, but sometimes it backfires.
