Reply To: What defines a messed up school?

I sure hope your story isn’t true. It’s really disgusting to humiliate a kid that way. Also i think school;s discipline should be limited to school time, anything that goes out of the school is overstepping the boundaries.

One of my nephews in a chasiddishe school, where if they come in sneakers they have to take them off for davvening. I don;t think it is such a bad idea by itself, since it teaches them ideas of kovoid hateffila.

It was a bit not fair to my nephew, because he misplaced his shoes, and he doesn;t have shabbos shoes, [the cause for another thread on YWN], and after a couple of days the rebbi took away his shoes for a recess too.
