@Always_Ask_Questions:
Halevai we should be on such a level that everything is a matter of black and white opinion in seforim. But the problem is:
1) Unfortunately we are human. Most people will be nuanced in their teaching. If a teacher is of the opinion that l’poel one should have a beard, he will lean towards those poskim, thus affending the parents who don’t hold of that.
If the teacher does not have a beard, you can’t exactly trust him to give an objective shiur about the importance of beards.
2) Children will be confused. They must be guided by one general derech. It is obviously okay for them to see some diversity, but you can’t confuse them with completely different hashkofos and have their parents decide what is right.
Imagine a teacher is giving a class about tziyonus: “Children, Reb Menachem Kasher teaches that every Jew is obligated to be עולה to Eretz Yisroel and support the government there. The Satmar Rebbe holds that the state is מעשה שטן. Now, go ask your parents which opinion you should hold.”
This resembles more a public school education where everything is pure facts, and anything that is related to values and morals is banned from the classroom. We believe that schools should first and foremost educate our children with the proper hashkafos of how to be an ehrliche Yid, and for that you need a school that follows your outlook.
” I think a school should have separate classes…”
How is this any different from separate schools? If anything this only causes more machlokes and less achdus between children!
