I don’t think that the argument has to be made that Yeshiva students score higher than their counterparts.
As we know, the boys are doing the same work in pnly 2-3 hours in the afternoons.
As long as they are doing well and holding their own, that should be enough.
True, if they spent many more hours and had nothing else to concentrate on, they would probably score a lot higher (as they do have the ability).
But if they are doing well and can do well in college if they choose to go, why do we have a need to prove that they are scoring better than their counterparts?bk613: I don’t know why you speak that way about our schools. I am a teacher in one of the yeshivas and my children attend them as well. They take the regents extremely seriously and are proctored in silence throughout. Both the girls and the boys- on the whole- get very high scores. And yes, the boys do their secular studies in a few hours in the afternoon after a long day of learning.
