The Kanoi Next Door,
Let’s be honest here for a minute: exactly how much of the secular studies that are taught in school are truly necessary for life? Personally, I think it’s a very small percentage; the rest of it just gets forgotten within the a month of the last test. All you really need (and therefore all the yeshivos really need to teach you) is basic english and math.
99% of American born male Hasidic school graduates speak and write English like they just came off the boat. This does not increase their chances at getting anything more than a dead-end shlepper job, which does wonders for confidence and Shalom Bayis throughout life (unless they have a family busine$$).
