Which is why the city and state should not fund them unless the follow the state education requirements. These schools are severely damaging the potential futures of the children who attend. It’s horrible this can happen in America.
Though I met a school psychologist who worked with Navajos. At his school the principal just had a bachelors degree. The people on the board of education just had elementary school education. Needless to say few people end up going to college from these schools, despite the federal government being willing to pay for the college education of members of federally recognised Native American groups. The tribal elders want the children to be educated in Navajo just like the Yeshivas only want to teach Hebrew and Yiddish. I think in persecuted groups you have manipulators who take advantage of these sentiments and used that too isolate people from the rest of the world. It’s like teachers at mostly black schools in Eastern Wueens telling students to go to historically Black colleges in the Soutb. That isolated Black peoples from other races and again does the young no favours. Or in the Catalonia region of Spain ethnic pride wastes resources in instruction in a useless language Catalan, when it would be more useful for them to go to school with in Spanish and English.
The standards should be raised for all of these schools in order to receive federal funding. Didn't they try that with the Amish, but lost in court? I can't remember. The Islamic schools in NYC aren't any better.
Bronxguyanese said "Jews," not Hasidic Jews, who are the subject of this thread and who are running the schools that are under investigation. Not all Orthodox yeshivas are run this way. North Shore Hebrew Academy and Stella K Abrahms have done very well academically and in the Siemens science competition. They have an extended day with half of the day devoted to secular subjects and offer AP classes. And not all yeshivas follow Hasidic or even Orthodox doctrine. Bronxguyanese has made not just anti-Semtic remarks, but bigoted remarks towards other ethnic groups in past posts. I'll say it again. There are corrupt unethical Jews, including Hasidim. There are also corrupt unethical Guyanese. What this has to do with feminism, I have no clue. I have no idea what SJW means.

Regents degrees should be mandatory. Funding should be tied into passing rates. Bring in state proctors if there is suspicion of cheating.
Private Schools, including the very elite ones, are exempt from the regents exams. Some offer the regents anyway. Others claim that since they meet the accreditation standards of agencies that have higher standards, regents exams are unnecessary. Even in the NYC public schools, a regents diploma is not required for graduation.
I agree with that. Some of the Hasidim do act shamefully. And they do not represent all Orthodox Jews. They are a recent sect, representing a fundamentalist or extreme form. Bronxguyanese said Jews, not Hasidic Jews or named this particular segment of Hasidic Jews. That was some generalization.
I was mainly pointing out hasidics. That is why I said mainly. Unless you want me to distinguish hasidics from other sects? And what I said is not hate speech. You can not call speech that is ignorant hate speech. It has to have negative or evil context directed to people or a particular group.
Out of all of this. I hope yeshiva are willing to reform their education that goes in line with state recommendations. Same could be said for any private institution. It seems that private sexual institutions follow state guidelines compared to religious academic institutions.
