What kind of 'charedim' are you referring to...who runs your school now? Just remember 'haredi' especially w/a mixed school like you mention. Is SO DIFFERENT FROM haredi in EY. Apples and oranges really. And you are talking about an oot community. Just no comparison from my experience. I understand you don't want haredi schools just mentioning.

For exp a kid come from an oot 'haredi' run. What is that exactly? Chabad...Litvish(I just don't think american version is really even haredi) But, say you come from there and then try to find the equivalent here. But, its not really like the US and then you want your kids to fit in like the peers with dress or what have you. But, your olders don't want to wear only white and black everyday or don't want to give up their jean skirts or still want to read secular books or watch movies or whatever and you expect them to stop because thats what their new peers live like. Thats kinda like squeezing them in a box they don't fit into.

I know you don't want haredi just using it for an example. Change it to chardal or whatever....
