    In general it’s terrible that there are Rebbis and Morah using smartphones.
    Their position demans of them to be a step up from the Hamoin Am.
    And its confusing to the kids (school says its improper but my Rebbi/teacher has one !)

    Bushah and disgrace for any Rebbi to be seen by his talmidim with a smartphone – filter or not
    It’s confusing to students (gilrs too) when Rabbeim and teachers don’t have Hanhaga that is a step higher and act like everyone else.
    And also denigrates the Mechanchim and Mechanchos who do act the part

    It’s tough, first a girl has to endure the degrading shidduch process which favors the boy and then she toils as a Morah for a a minuscule salary
    The GOOD NEWS IS – HASHEM IS ON HER SIDE ! Ha-Elokim Yevukash Es Hanirdaf

    CT Rebbe is right – and also – It looks like your question is your answer. If you are posting , then Seminar might not be the right place for you

    This is not an attack on our precious rabbeim
    most are Chushiv AND fantastic
    But there is a general trend to accepting a lower standard in some

    This is not about the cause for Kids going of the Derech etc….
    And this is not about smartphones
    Smartphones is just an example
    It’s about this:
    Don’t we want a higher standard from someone with the title “Rebbi” ?
    The title Rebbi should mean something
    It should mean that he doesnt talk during davening at all
    It should mean that he wears a hat in the street like the Ben Torah he encourages our sons to becomes
    It should meat that he eats only Cholov Yisorel
    It should mean that his talk is refined
    It should mean that his Rebbitzen’s Tznius standard is beyond question
    Its not about doing Issurim CH”V
    It’s about his position mandating a higher standard
    V’Chooloo
    Or are we happy with a mediocre role model for our children
    and the downgrading of the title “Rebbi”

    Its a NY Metro area Yeshiva
    To the one who made it sound that all that matters is that a Rebbi is good with kids – yes it’s a key component
    – and that he love kids too, but dignity and “Tzurah” are equally important ! Our kids learn and absorb from their surroundings especially from a Rebbi’s behavior as much if not more than the Gemara he teaches.
    It’s a Vilna Goan – the IDEAL way to have a Hashpaah is to “fill up the large cup and let it spill over into the smaller ones.

    Its funny that you said “what do you think he’s a Malach…”
    Actually the Gemara says that a Rebbi should “be Domeh L’Maalach HaShem Tzevakos”
