mayan dvash, can you give me your email address

yid.period, my life plan? I plan to stay in kollel for my entire life getting supported by my future father-in-law. I will put a price tag on myself when I am going dating that I only take life support.

LOL, I actually plan on becoming an OT. My dikduk is OK.

Working on it: You seem to think that I have very little education. If you would know the top quality teachers I have and the strictness and rigorous testing of my secular studies department, you wouldn’t be talking the way you are now. I actually probably have a better English then most of those posting here. My attitude towards secular studies is actually very positive. I try very hard to take it seriously, and my regent marks show it. When I take my English Regent in a year or so I’ll let you know what I get on it.

Wolf: The real question is: If your’e such a busy guy as you claim to be, having to work, raise a family and so on, how can you spend so many hours on here in the first place? If you do have the time to spend so much time here you also have the time to spend a couple extra seconds “decoding” my posts.

In general I spend approximately 3-4 hours a week on here, and that is all on weekends, because I am in yeshiva the whole week. Now I’m here because I wasn’t feeling well the past two days.

whose posts were deleted?

B’h I have a life and don’t have time to check ever little mistake. I type at the speed of 60 wpm and on my netbook I make many mistakes because it’s hard to type on it. Also, I’m very used to texting language, so i use that here too.

midwest, my writing is atroucious, because i type speeding and dont have time to start correcting everything.

btw, whoever said that you need so many years to learn english is a bit mislead. I have an english teacher who has been teaching english for 27 years now. He is a top of the line english teacher. He told us that after 2 years of high school english, each one of us can do pretty well on the regent. So we asked him why we have four years of english course. His answer: I DONT KNOW

hadassa, you say i have bad grammar. its funny because i go to a mainstream yeshiva in brooklyn that does no question has the best and high quality secular studies department in yeshivish yeshivos in brooklyn (and their known for it). and i am happy to have it. and since i only have 2.5 hours of secular studies everyday if feel that there is no reason that any yeshivish yeshiva should have more then that. and btw i will be getting and advanced regents and high school diploma when i graduate. so nice try saying that i have bad grammar cuz i probably have better grammar that 90% of yeshiva bochurim my age

WOLF, and as i’ve stated above the course has changed MULTIPLE times since you learned trig in high school and the trig we are learning is very complex and not applicable to life as learned in high school.

pascha bechachmah, huh?? i dont know what your talking about, cuz the trig we learn is totally not applicable to life. as i said the course has changed, and the trig they teach in high school is not worth teaching.

shrek, and you dont need more then 2 or 2 and a half hours to have a good secular studies department, more then that is a total waste

fine, its fine to have tests regularly,and i guess hard tests but mid year finals are a killer to learning, and there is no need for it

and those who don’t lern trig in high school which is alot of shcools dont lose out so wh do some schools have to give this torture course

shrek,YES i do plan on going to college, right now i want to be a occupational therapist otherwise known as OT, but that can change as time goes on. but currently thats what i want to do. im not one of those who plans on sitting in kollel for life

youve missed the boat people. i am absolutely not saying that the english should be a total joke. it should be serious. the kids should be dealt with for cutting, chutzpah and so on. but there is no reason to teach further then whats required to get a diploma. because most basic math english and so on is in the diploma. there is no reason to give classes for 3+ hours a day. all the material can be taught easily in alot less time then that. you don’t need an advanced advanced advanced diploma to make a decent salary. all you need is a regular diploma. theres no reason to teach all this nonsense that isn’t required. lets go through it. Trigonometry is total nonsense. its all about fake numbers. you absolutely do not need it for a regular diploma. it is murder also, no reason that the boys should have to study their heads off for nonsense. chemistry. there is no reason the boys should have to learn this murder subject when you can take two other normal sciences like biology and earth science. no one can relate to chemistry.

I’m b’h fine, we only did half tonight were doing the rest tomorrow night my mom has no strength to do it all in one night. your all turned over thats great!! lucky you did you work alot

observanteen, 19 is taken

for what are you waiting
