The disparity between kids in Lubavitch

berl, crown heights:

It is a father's responsibility to ensure his kids get a proper education. You want to run a Yeshiva that conducts social experiments? By all means! Not with my kids though. The disparity between the various types of kids in Lubavitch today is too great, the dangers too severe to have them all in the same misgeres. I would go further: the earlier the kids would be placed in environments/schools/classes that were appropriate to their needs & abilities, the better it would be for all. As it stands today, the separation starts mostly at the mesivta level. Not soon enough.

I will go even further: if class-placement, starting from elementary school, were done according to academic abilities, the frie-out rate would decrease dramatically. How do you think it feels for a kid to go to school every day and not be able to follow what goes on in class? How do you think it feels for a kid to go to school every day and be bored out of his mind? In short, honesty and realism would benefit all kids. But our culture today is based on some dumb communistic notion az ale zainen glaich and the parents worry only about �how it looks� for their kid to be in �a weaker class�. Until the whole damn lie they built for themselves explodes in their faces. And then it�s always �vi is dos geshen?� Ale yidden zainen tayer ober zei zainen nit ale glaich.

NOTE: My last comment extolling the virtues of segregation does not at all negate my earlier rant on this very blog about BT education (that capable grown-up BTs should be educated together with the young frum kids). It is not the background that should be keiveyah but academic ability, attitude to learning and chassidishkeit.
