Moshe Krakowski is a professor at the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education at Yeshiva University where he directs the doctoral program. He studies Haredi education and culture.
In the interview, he discusses American Haredi education and culture, focusing on the relationship between communal worldview, identity, and education.
He also works on curriculum, cognition, and inquiry learning in Jewish educational settings. He has written extensively about the Hasidic boys’ education controversy, often representing the community from a more favorable perspective.
He visited many Hasidic boys’ schools for his research, so I invited him on to share with us what he saw.

Is it just me or is it ironic to have him conduct scientific research
Nobody asked him to.
But a college educated can’t understand the obvious that they first need to study it endlessly until they start to figure some of it out.
I mean the yeshiva system have withstood the test of time but public schools not so much
Oholei Torah teaches No secular studies at all.
He mentions that.
If you don’t like it don’t send there.
How is it your place exactly to decide what other parents can’t do with their own kids?
The college route is obviously no better if they can’t afford to pay off their worthless loans and need the non college educated to bail them out.
Somehow oholei Torah kids can still read the street signs and order Ubers and configure many mivtzoyim routes too. No?
Leave people alone
They go on to support their families adequately at a way way higher rate than the public school system and (gasp!) even the Jewish Day school system.
it,is,criminal,so,leave,the,criminals,alone
We all know exactly what gets taught and what doesn’t. The only discussion worthwhile is whether that should change. Do any of us in CH actually not know exactly what their children are learning, or aren’t learning as it were.
He mentioned that the Yeshiva kids are more engaged with the learning compared to public school kids.
Public schools a place where a kid learns to be a thug a gangster or get picked on .
I went to public schools as a secular Jew.
Once kids found out I was a Yid non stop harassment fights .
Leave the Frum Yidden alone.
