Explain to me where a serious boy who learns most of his day and takes his Yiddishkiet seriously is going to develop all these life skills and worldliness that you speak of. He isnt online, isnt wasting his time reading non Jewish books, isn’t watching movies, maybe reads a frum newspaper occasionally, doesnt go places he shouldnt and doesnt associate with people who arent serious learners. So I will ask you, where would you expect him to get this worldliness? Yes there are many boys with worldliness but they didnt get it in the beis medrash. Or maybe they did by shmoozing with their chavrusas instead of learning…
