I wonder if you ever had a child who was rejected from school. In the case of a girl going into high school, she is 13 years old. She is a good girl, in fact a great girl, but “they” have decided not to accept her. She comes to school the next day and everyone is very excited because they all got in…
I wonder how you can ever compare this to a person who is applying to Harvard. A person who is 18 and is applying to more than one school and has many choices. Is this what our yeshivos have come to, they have become elite schools for the few and elite? I could THROW UP. If sorah shnier would be alive she would be rolling in her grave (chas v’ shalom) to see what became of her bais yaakov system.
A person doesn’t HAVE to go to Yale, but a kid has to go to yeshiva. What else can they do…go to public school…pack groceries? MY G-D, these kids are babies, our jewels, and they are made to feel like a piece of TRASH. someone will pay dearly for all these neshamos that had to go through so much agmus nefesh.
