i dont know about the rest of you but i think our days are way too long. in my school i think we can easily shorten it by cutting of a gemara period (if you have double gemara, and if you havechumas and navi just to make it tanach like the upper tracks)

i personally dont mind, i actually like school. you will be amazingly suprised how much better school is when you stop caring about it. this is how my class goes: go in, sit there for about 5 minutes, ask to go to the bathroom, go into the gym, play some basketball for about 20 minutes, go back to class and then just talk to my friends for the last 10 minutes or so. i really dont mind the long days because i have fun in school hanging out with my friends and doing no work and not caring about anything.

i cant stand gemara- the clock seriously does not move- it feels like 5 hours!!!
a lot of classes are just wastes of time- we really should get out like 2 hours earlier....and we need an afternoon break at least!

public school is an alternative-thats where im going next year because they dont give you bullshit hebrew-you get out early-go home and study-and then do whatever the fuck you want-and guess what?-its $15,000 less than what your paying now-to sum it all up if you like yeshiva and you wanna stay there till 5:30 and study your ass off-fine with me

Well, actually, the yeshiva method is long days and screwed up work but its still better than being in public school, especially if you value ur judaism or zionism at all. People in yeshivas talk about college campuses and missionaries, well believe me i know from firends that high schools are almost just as bad and wit the drugs issue even worse. Hebrew isnt bullshit, it really is the language u need to know to be an orhtodox jew. If you odnt want ot be an orthodox jew then you souldnt be in yeshiva and then you could go to public school. Also, i dont think that killing a period of gemara would be good but i think that an option would be to cut back on homework or work on a test schedule like most yeshivas do so that you can have less of a workload.

well its not so easy to switch out now. thats the whole plan of parents. they send us to yeshiva our whole life and we dont think anything of it in lower school because we're too stupid to know anything about religion and then when we're in high school and have second thoughts about religion, its too late to go to public school because we already have all our friends and crap.
