Why do you say that the yeshivos that allow their bochurim to be counselors are second rate? I think they are top rate because they understand that accomplished bnei torah have what to give to the next generation and IT WON’T AFFECT their learning just the opposite they will gain just as you’ve said. Yeshivos such as Torah Temima who offer their bochurim to take counselor positions or go to the yeshiva camp and others are creating a situation where getting a counselor job is not so easy due to the limited slots available. So the camps can be selective as to who they take. SEED can offer those who can’t get jobs a way to spend their bein hazmanim appropriately.
