In my opinion the schools here are atrocious for boys. For girls it's another matter. It's this horrible grind, 9 hours a day in a tiny classroom, the rebbe just reading from the Mishnah. My son has done 10 chapters of Mesechta Shabbos in one month! There's no concept of preparation, instructional design, variety. There are no assemblies, no projects, no trips. No background on the Oral Torah. No comparison to other Mishnayos. Just grinding through the book. It's like daf yomi for 5th graders. The rebbes do no preparation, no lesson plan. They go six days a week and Shabbos is full of restrictions. There's no free day. And they go 11 months like this. The schools have no cafeteria, no libraries, no assembly hall. I can only think that the goal is to destroy the boys. The key concern about schools is getting in. I have a friend who just begged a school for 3 months to accept his 3 yr old. It's like the school administrators are some kind of evil characters out of a fairy tale.

His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra
