    I dont doubt the vearicty of your stories but you exxagerate the numbers.

    Also most of your stories would happen in US as well. You can watch movies in internet cafes (but paying in 15 minute intervals add up) but you cant watch porn in them.

    When I was learning in E”Y there were always some Mir guys in “town” but it was mostly the same 15-20. there was more than 100 times that amount that were doing right but those guys, gave all a bad name to some people.

    I think the same thing here.

    oomis if anything with a shadchan there’s less of a reason to worry. they wont mingle in the same circles and the shadchan breaks the news. win and win.

    Why was Monsey singled out in this thread it seems Brooklyn is having the same issue. Perhaps it is not a local issue but an issue we as a nation are having or at least cities with many schools..

    “Statistics show that guys who get married at eighteen have more years of a happy marriage on average”.

    The only reason they have more years is because they were younger had they been 3 years older they would have 3 years less. I’m not being punny with this I’m serious and I doubt the veracity of these “statistics”

    There is a big difference between 20 and 23 maturity wise on all people.

    As has been mentioned POF is a Maryland company they probably dont come down to NY.

    Golden Flow is the best of the cholov Yisroel companies.

    Just because R’ Moshe was matir all milk doesnt mean you dont get more schar.

    Monsey doesnt have a R’ Matisyahu.

    Out of town cities that have 1 to 2 schools arent comparable.

    Underscore I’m sure this will shock you but most people in Monsey dont work in the city.

    I also wonder how many students are actually out of school and if they honestly had no options or if they only wanted 1 specific school that isnt working with them.

    Aries,

    In an ideal world you’re right but I feel like you’re giving too much credit to the Vaad and parents.

    I think if the school says we are staying open we dont want these children because they’re a bad influence most parents especially working ones will ignore the vaad and not start with their school.

    My 5 year old saw someone he likes smoking and told him “I’m sure you dont know that smoking is dangerous but my zaidy had to have an operation because he smoked”.

    Aries, even if they arent allowed on the vaad (I dont think the prinipals are on the vaad) it doesnt cure the situation.

    If a school doesnt want to follow the vaad what control do they have to force it?

    Supposedly Lakewood has the strongest vaad but even there I doubt they can force their will.

    Monsey unlike some other places isnt a town “run” by a Rebbe,yeshiva or single Rov but rather a group of neighborhoods and their Rabbonim combined into a mostly nice community.

    In medicine, hyperventilation (or overbreathing) is the state of breathing faster and/or deeper than normal. It can result from a psychological state such as a panic attack, from a physiological condition such as metabolic acidosis, or can be brought about voluntarily.

    Why do you hyperventilate.

    If a parent or school doesnt want to abide by the vaad harabonim, then what should the vaad do?

    If only 1 school listens to the vaad is it fair to force them to add 100 students?

    Another problem is I believe 1 of the 2 schools is very yeshivish the other was a big mix.

    op said what type of person is he- meaning am i going to be hearing from a MO rabbi or a chassidishe rebbe type?

    I said “he’s in the middle on the left of the center point” that doesnt make him a leftist.

    I havent followed him in several years so I dont have exact examples but thats just my feeling. I dont think its insulting or something most people would disagree with.

    Also FTR the bigger issue in Monsey is that most of the schools dont feel a sense of responsibility to the community and therefore refuse to accept students.

    R’ Chill works tirelessly with this issue and publicly called on “those” schools to step up and realize their achraius to the klal. The late R’ Flam was also known to work hard to get all students into schools (HS was the bigger issue then)and Im sure there are others.

    whats with the recent board trend of “deal with it”?

    At some point we realized theres more to school then just attending and 35 kids in a class was detrimental to the student.

    Im not a “professional” but have to travel for work occasionaly. when Im home I get home early enough to do homework with my kids but if I travel its the same as a guy not getting home until late (1AM is an exaggeration).

    most of the schools in monsey dont have 15 kids they have more like 25.

    just because years ago there were 35 kids in a class means nothing.
