you'r considered immature for asking a question about dovid and batsheva
the male teachers can't walk down the hall by recess
you don't know half the stuff on your biology regents ( cuz you were'nt
taught them)
From Chani:
1. On your high school graduation trip, you're required
to wear a long skirt and long sleeved shirt. The tourists there keep
asking you if you're Amish.
2. Although you're told to emulate your teachers, the idea of
being only 30 years old, fat, frumpy, 10 kids already and one more on the
way just doesn't appeal to you.
3. Checking out guys is 100% assur. That goes for your
teachers too. The male teachers can't be cute in the least bit. They must
be at least 300lbs. or over 70 years old.
4. Words such as: Nu, epis, shtark, grada, Gevald!, geshamk are
overused.
5. When it comes to marriage, the girl must either be a teacher
or secretary and the boy must learn in kollel full time. Don't worry about
money, cuz your father in law will support you!
6. You go on a major shopping spree right B4 a shabboton
because all the clothes you own have a "goyish ta'am"
From: ME
the teacher picked up your skirt to see if
your socks were long enough - tznius reasons.
They never fired any teacher.
boy bands meant of simches.
boys were something you will learn about when we
think you're ready.
It's not that girls are worth LESS then boys,
they're just on a different level.
Questions are not allowed, esp. about torah
classes.
So what if the rambam learned medicine, history,
astrology and math. When you learn like the rambam you can do that to.
You're not considered one of the graduates if you
go to college.
You're accepted only if you're older sister has
been happily married since the age of 18 and now has at least 6 children. (If
you're the oldest they look at your father's hat, shoes and colour of shirt.)
From Suri Grusgott:
Chumash was learned Cheder style- Rebbe banging on table, class repeating after him
Gehenom was mentioned a lot
The secular world was described as Znus and Shtus
Event of the year: Bais Yaakov Convention
Snow days were not a day off, rather school took place in the rebbe's house where you baked cookies, played
with his kids and learned Toira...
Talking to a boy was threatened with detention
On grad trip, the TVs were removed from your hotel room much to the chagrin of those who did not have one
at home
Any snacks brought in for a siyum had to be cholov yisrael, paas yisrael, kemach yashon...
You felt underprivileged for having less than 8 kids in your family
Midrash was to be taken literally
When the rebbe pulled you out of class by your braid, he was replaced- by his wife.
You realized much later in life that those Shabbos invitations to your classmates homes were kiruv- even
though you were religious...
The school was made up of teachers and their daughters who were also teachers and many of their other
children represented in each grade
From anonymous..
1) you were a rebel because you wore a striped shirt
2) when you got to college you realized sunday was a day off
3) You thought getting out at 2pm on sundays was a half day
4) your rebbe used to give extra homework on super bowl sunday...and you
were only in 5th grade
5) you still remember the rebbe with the big stick
6) you also remember the one with the gartel whip
7) you also remember the one that got fired for that reason
8) you remember tv being referred to as the yetzer hora box
