Calling abusing children an “ill” is severely downplaying what is happening. Perhaps use more accurate language if you don’t want to be questioned about it.

“The Times report, drawing on 911 calls and interviews with dozens of recent students, also showed that teachers in many Hasidic schools made regular use of corporal punishment to keep students in line during hours of grueling religious lessons.”

Are there reports of violence used against students at other private schools?

it isn't and no one said it was?? i was commenting on the fact that they said what their religion does is no ones business. i could say the same thing ab cultures that commit FGM....like it's someone's business if it's affecting children negatively

edit: & it isnt just ab low test scores when they are physically beating children like this post states smart ass

damn bro. im not even an expert at the Bronx - I am on the Brooklyn side and have seen all types of people and surprising changes to some neighborhoods.. even as we speak they are renovating the bronx museum for 2025 - the influx of people who want to / need to live in the city are finding bronx an alternative -- and some parts that are still social deserts are having small hip places open up to add a new layer of culture which will bring more people to make entire neighborhoods come back alive

The focus isn't limited. It includes any private school that uses corporal punishment on kids, not just yeshivas who do. If 99.9% of the schools this touches are a certain type of school, perhaps some soul searching must be done. It also must be said that not all yeshivas are like this. Some are amazing institutes of learning that treat kids with respect they deserve.
