Having attended a Yeshivah which provided "secular" education from 3:30-6:30 PM S-Th through high school, was able to test and receive NY Regents scholarship, get BA, and advanced degrees, as did many of my classmates. At same time, many family members attended Yeshivas with little or no secular/English education, no college and poor financial opportunities, some living in New Square, and yet happy in their choices and their community around the Skverer Rebbe. Life choices, some made by parents and some by individual, and varying conseuences.
If vegetarians would unite, they could eat our Vegetable-in-Chief ... not sure that would provide any relief.
