Failed Education

After I finished high school I was pretty much convinced that I never wanted anything to do with religion ever again.

Elisha Wiesel [Elie's son]

Shockingly, this high school doesn't feature this quote on its website but I will say that they charge an awful lot of money [these days, 160k per kid for four years of indoctrination] to produce many such graduates [to varying degrees]. Too many.

On the other hand - they have graduates who are Bnei Torah as well. But less b/c of their experience there than despite it. [Thank G-d for the two year detox programs in Israel!!!].

Sad. 

Mussar Haskel: Find out what type of graduates the school produces before you send your children there. Developing Yirei Shomayim with Middos Tovos is infinitely more important than an Ivy League degree.
