New law went into effect today here in New York State (just signed yesterday) that every school must have a moment of silence along with a discussion about September 11th. Dont know details.
Was wondering if they would teach my kid about it in 3rd grade today. But not yet. I guess 4th or 5th grade?
+1 in a very heimish/yeshivish school
BTW I also remember the Arabs dancing in the street near BP...
This is how memories of events that never occurred are created.https://twitter.com/HananyaNaftali/status/1171770371088863236?s=19
Jewish history, at certain ages. I doubt they get to cover even 20th century, let alone 21st.
Just checked with my 11th grade daughter. They do learn about the Holocaust, but nothing more recent than that.
What about Pearl Harbor?

My elementary kids all learnt about Pearl Harbor
Awful that high schoolers aren't being taught basic things about the country they live in, especially when so many of the victims and others affected were part of the frum community in NYC.
Clearly not everyone here has the same idea of what the purpose of sending their kids to yeshiva is...
Or girls school.
I mean this is like basic stuff. What's the harm in keeping this from young adults? Aren't teens more at risk by not knowing about __________ and how that directly affects their lives?
I thought everyone sends for babysitting.
+100When my wife complained about the standard of education to the Rav of the community he told her exactly that and added that if we want a higher standard we should hire tutors or send the kids to another yeshiva. We took his advice to heart
I think we should split this off.
