re:your comments
1. you’re correct, the gedolim did say to send to school but only because a majority of parents weren’t able to educate their children at home properly. Yes, i’m being a little sarcastic. No child in 2011 should be educated at home for educational, social and other reasons except in very rare circumstances(shluchim are a rare circumstance). My point was it’s not black and white that camp is a luxury. Perhaps we can wear sheets and not buy clothing. 🙂 Many things are a neccessity.
2. I meant cell phones for adults. I agree that children should not have cellphones. Though today some might say for safety..u see, its not black and white. It depends where, who and why.
3. Depends where you live. Some communities can’t walk or take public transportation into Lakewood, Monsey or Brooklyn or XXXX. One parent might be driving one way and the other the other way, so as i said, what might be a luxury for one might be a neccessity for another.
