as in how much money are we talking about?

Right, I mean we could say that when my mom tells me that “you will go to college, or I will cut you off” that that is considered brainwashing, but then, when my mom started bribing me to go to college, I didn’t hesitate to start looking at schools, anyone know of good Jewish colleges in brooklyn that don’t charge a ton of money, I have a full time job starting at the beginning of may, so I need to take part time evening classes. Preferably somewhere where they won’t brainwash me, no pun intended.

So your saying my friend could have just switched there and she would have been fine (she leads a very different lifestyle from her family, so there is a TV in her house, but she never goes near it, and she keeps on experimenting with internet filters for her electronic devices, its just hard to find a free one that works. She would have had a way to get accommodations made about the TV part, but she thought she would have had to get rid of the internet completely…

Also, I apologize for any lashon hara about either school, I actually went to HSBY for a year, and went to a different school in a different town for the rest of high school, so I don’t really know so much.

nope, but she made us all spend quality time together reading all the harry potter books as a mishpacha.

My mom said that. Like you get asked questions on tests like what color tie the professor was wearing on the first day of class as a part of the final exam.

So you brainwash your graduate students and junior faculty?

I hear, but those people don’t typically get married until their late 20’s early thirties. Like my mom is financially supporting me to a certain extent because she feels that I have been so resistant to going to college that she needs to bribe me.

But some people might argue with that because they just simply can’t afford to have a husband sit and learn without contributing towards family finances, we are a part of a society that appears to expect girls to get married when they are 19, rabbis won’t let young couples use birth control in many cases, not everyone’s parents can afford go support married children, then nine months later, the wife gives birth to her first child and she might not even be twenty years old, and raising a child is expensive and suddenly they end up on food stamps, yet many by schools will hammer into their students that living this type of lifestyle is the only way to be considered successful. Is there anything not messed up about that.

It might not be, but it depends on the school and the teacher. Some classes have a dynamic that allows students to argue about controversial topics based on course content, and in others, the class gets in trouble if that dynamic exists and the class tries to act on it.

I never signed up for any organ donation industry. Basically, the non-Jewish public school teacher gave inaccurate information in order to convince Jewish kids to sign up for the organ donation registry. I said that if you do that, then they will most likely take organs that based on Jewish law, are not permitted to be donated, such as your heart, therefore, Jewish people should not sign up for the national organ donor registry. The public school teacher was open to accepting my feedback and correction, and I said this to her during class while she was teaching.

I went up to the teacher from the bais yaakov after class to ask for clarification about some information that I was reading about a gadol for my school project, I was very polite, but after I asked the question, she gave me a whole lecture about how I was putting down the gadol (when I was asking a question because I did not understand something) and said I was chutzpadik and how dare I ask such a question. When I took the final exam at the end of the semester, which I had to make up because I was sick on the original test date, I was granted including extended time, an hour and twenty minutes to take the exam, and she spent an hour lecturing me about how I was wrong to ask that question (two months after I asked it) and I only had 15-20 minutes to take the exam, and I failed. I almost did not graduate high school because of that exam.

At least the one I went to did. I have sit in on classes at public high schools for various summer school electives, and those classes were very anti-religion. I took an intro to health care careers class, and the teachers would tell us about how the common Jewish belief that it is wrong to donate organs such as your heart, is not true. And they tried to get me to sign up on the organ donor registry for my state. I didn’t fall into that trap, but still, I understood that they were wrong, and I corrected the teacher, and she apologized for giving the wrong information because as a person who was not Jewish, she would have had no clue.

In a Bais Yaakov, I was assigned to do a report on a gadol, and I wanted to seek clarification from my teacher about something I read in the book about the gadol, and she went ballistic and said that I was so chutzpadik (and I asked her politely!) and how dare I question a gadol, and she went on and on, and then when I tool the final exam (which I had to make up because I was sick on the actual day), she gave me an hour lecture, so I only had fifteen minutes to complete the exam, and then I failed the exam, I am lucky I graduated because of that exam.

brainwashing someone into not believing in her self is really bad.

I mean that we spend so much time in school that our schools have such a big influence on our lives, but sometimes schools do not take into consideration a student’s family situation, or background and may say something that the student will get stuck on, but is not right for the student to hear and then the student’s reaction will not be a good one and then things get chaotic because of something the school said in front of that student.

I did go to a bais Yaakov, and there were good things I learned there, and there were things that were bad, don’t get me wrong, I made amazing friends in school, I just never felt like I could completely connect to the movement, there are other bags Yaakov besides bjj

People attempted to brain Wash me in seminary, I had a gut feeling I was allergic to sunflower seeds but kept on eating them so I wouldn’t be able to go to class and be brain washed.

i hear, i am just wondering about hashkafic compatibility.
