Abstract:
Contrary to conventional wisdom, a two-year study found that teachers in day schools do make a significant contribution to the Jewish education that day school students receive. In addition, teaching general studies in day schools is quite different from teaching in public or secular private schools; the professional lives of general studies teachers are shaped by the Jewish context in which they work.
