Sorry… Another Sem Thread…

[Little Froggie]

I just want to help out the matzav.

(I assume you mean creating a thread to post about sems and not necessitate hijacking anyone else’s thread. So here goes:)

How come there are all these threads about seminaries and none about high schools? I would think the choice of 4 years’ education is more important than one years’.

[☕ DaasYochid ☕]

The parents have a lot more input into high school than seminary, and 8th graders have less internet access than 12th graders.

[Little Froggie]

Maybe the cost of that one year far outdoes the others

I wasn’t on here till 9th grade….8th graders arent really on the CR

[JustARegularJew]

There are also a lot less choices for high schools in most cities and towns than there are Seminaries and Yeshivos in Israel… You go from having 3 or 4 choices (maybe) to having to deal with 20 or 30 choices – and because they’re an ocean away, it’s difficult to get clear exactly what each of the schools “are”

[👑RebYidd23]

There are 39 year old eighth graders.

Plus most people stick to HS’s in their city.

[screwdriverdelight]

Well, I’m starting high school next year. Which is the best a) for my education b) for my shidduchim c) for the experience?

[Shopping613 🌠]

As a student or a teacher? Or are you joking?

[Torah613Torah]

A. Manhattan HS for girls or Prospect

B. Depends on what kind of guy you’re looking for in a few years, which is highly influenced by your HS

C. Bais Yaakov of Boro Park, where there is more fun and less academics than most schools.

I assume you’re not looking for a chassidish one, in which case A. is popularly considered Bais Bracha, B is B or Tomer Devora, and C is BYBP or Vien.

I also assume you live in Brooklyn

You are also assuming he’s a girl.
