    As a live bystander to the scene it is a shame that this can happen in our community that bocherim an average of 350-400 boys kin eiyen hora… should not be under rosh yeshivas observation, especially when it is not the first nor the second but lets hope the last…A Fire outbreak does not happen just like that… There was a major argument between the boys and the hanalah yeshiva of seperating the younger division from the older division, to have more control on the boys.(good morning! Thats after several wake up calls from the boys poor courtesy and ethics to their behavior)* In the lunchroom- by putting in a buzzer we shouldnt be able to shmooze with our friends…* a total of 8 dumpster during one zman * an estimate of 10 Brush fires * hollering on the streets past midnight… ) Words will never convey the corruption of UTA. Their bad reputation has traveled way to far but hopefully they have learned their lesson and commprehends that action needs to taken asap.
