Going back to the origanal post, it is very touching to see parents sending their children off by benching them. When I sent my daughter off to Gateshead, a few of the fathers benched their daughters. what was interesting then was the difference between the first year students and the second year students. The second year students were so much more confident in their traveling and the parents might still have been emotional, but they were more relaxed.
Why does so many of the discutions here end up in arguments about women’s tznius? I haven’t heard arguments about simpler cars, less expensive hats etc.
