[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It’s what they want. There’s no way to change it except by persuasion. They may just be ignoring the testing, not failing. [/quote] It's what who wants? Several young men interviewed for the article and in another documentary I saw said it was definitely not what they wanted for themselves.[/quote] Their parents want it. The NYTimes article is full of stereotypes of Hassidic people, down to the deliberately unflattering photographs. We may disagree with the parent’s educational philosophy but that should be changed by persuasion and collaboration. OP frankly dislikes living in a community with Hasidic people. She’s going to have to adjust. I don’t doubt that some Hasidic kids dislike their school but there are badly failing schools everywhere. HS in DC where 0% pass the tests. [/quote]
