I am running a complex city. There are here a thousand dropout kids, kids that their parents have thrown them out of their homes, many single mothers... every Shabbos when I would go out with my wife and kids for a walk we would encounter pashkevilim... I have to leave the city on Shabbos because of the pashkevilim...

1000 dropouts??!! many single mothers? parents throwing all these kids out of their homes?? in such a young city like Elad???
Maybe there is something wrong with the system? Maybe the community needs to look at the system and make changes, instead of glorifying the system at the expense of the kids and the families...
