    The attitude that the average girl had?? How advanced were your textual skills before you attended? If a girl was intellegent, how intellegent would she have to be to top the class??

    Todays society will never measure up to the gedolim that made those meforshim, but some girls know more tanach than men…so what?? men know enough to function and they learn gemora, so that have greater depth in specified areas. woman just have the general knowledge

    they should be, but they cant possibly be expected to take on s much as she has. she would learn in to the early hours of the morning with no break. it takes lots of kochos. no one should ever put themselves under that much strain.

    I worked as an administrator for an accounting firm. I found it very boring and time consuming, but if you like organising and basic math it is a great career.

    Gut Voch! Well it is still shabbos in the states, but not in Australia. My daughter won the national chidon hatanach, and she knows more torah, navi and ketuvim than my sons. but is that so terrible??? My sons are the experts when it comes to gemara, explaining the world. while my daughter is packed with the knowledge. men cant be the master of all.

    I am not saying the idea is wrong, in fact I completely agree. I find it inspirational. Atleast the part where yidden and goiim shouldnt mix too much.

    But Jewish men and women, it is like we are one pack, rather than a variety of animals and we accomplish great things. We can be group of beavers and build a dam together. Or a pack of wolves that get food. Seperated and staggered we can acoomplish nothing.

    Mingling is important if limited ofcourse. Im not for Yidden sociallising with goiim. but the suggestion that men and women should be kept so seperate that they will cause catastrophes is they talk is inane!!!

    I get that the calamity was caused by the culmination of creatures, but this does not apply to humans, especially not yiddishkeit. In yiddishkeit of course socially it is not best to intermingle too much, but we have to. Men and women work together in marraige and accomplish great things. The diversity in the way men and women are is not meant to be kept seperate, rather unity is celebrated. Those creatures can express the wild nature, our nefesh habahamis and therefore when a group is out of control and rely on instincts they reek havoc.

    The misdiagnosis is official she had it checked out by a psychologist, just to clarify.

    zeena.kasta

    She had no friends becaue of the rumor that spead about her false diagnosis. Her symptoms were not serious, in fact once she moved to high school she presented no symptoms. Her school environment was the problem not her. In that school your friends were people that you were related to by family, not your classmates.

    when she was a child she was diagnosed and treated by one pschologist who used her social displacement for monetary gain. the parents were the one who initiated the investigation into her socail displacemnts and skills even though she was being isolated by teh children in calss cause she was the only girl not realted to anyone. the diagnosis was rough and obviously wrong. no second opinion.

    Yes. But is it ok to diagnose children with few symptoms based on a out of environment test if the child may be going through a phase that will be gone by the time a child is a few years older? As this can affect social status and even shidduchim?
