"Kollel families tend to have higher standards of chinuch, don’t allow their children to do things the schools don’t want them to do (going to ball games, watch TV, internet, etc.)." Can you please explain the above statements. This makes no sense. Higher caliber of what? What "standard" are you benchmarking? Why is the mark of a good chinuch listening blindly to what the school says as opposed to making dynamic decisions about whats best for your individual child/family. “Kollel families generally are of a higher caliber, and raise the overall standard of the school.”

So he really hopes to go through educating all his children without a single day of work???? (And come to tell me that 10$ contribution towards the chassene of his daughter are not enough, since they had so huge expenses???) Beis yaakov means that the daughter was over 15 years old?

A good school also needs to pay it's teachers, no? If they do not pay, the teachers will go and teach where they get paid. And only bad teachers who don't find any other job will stay at that school... Euuuh… A good school also needs to pay it’s teachers, no?

If they do not pay, the teachers will go and teach where they get paid. And only bad teachers who don’t find any other job will stay at that school…

If they tell stay-at-home moms they have to leave in order to work, then why shouldn't fathers have to work? Having a mother at home with young children is surely better than the local Mexican lady watching the kids, don't you think? I always find it amusing that people who are SOOOOOOOO worried about their milk being tainted with pig's milk by anti-semites that they keep cholav yis, yet they leave their children and kitchens unwatched and in the care of antisemitic babysitters. I've even seen a Jewish babysitter who left a child under 2 home alone while she took the other two kids to school. The older kids will never tell their parents... they think it's lashon hara. I'm not going to tell them because I don't want to get in the middle of it. Why can't the men get a job like receptionist that would afford them significant down time where they can learn at their desks? I know, yes, there is a stereotype that this is woman's work. Maybe we need to get over those stereotypes already. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all just sit around and do whatever we want and not have to worry about working!
