Tiferes Yisroel, a Jewish all-boys school in Flatbush, really wants to make sure their students concentrate on their homework when they’re at home. That’s why they’re asking parents to buy software to monitor their internet activity at home, and then get their Web-browsing histories emailed to a chaver, or friend. And if the parents think this is a violation of their privacy, the school is arguing that the rabbi says it’s kosher. The school wrote to parents, “We are following the dictates of our [rabbis]—that as human beings, we cannot trust ourselves. This is proper education.”

This is really horrible, especially if it is a case of mistaken identity.  This also makes me happier I don’t live there anymore.  This is right across from the Q station and at 8:30 at night this area is still really busy.

I had the pleasure of having my neighbor broadcast an illegal station when I moved into my first apartment on Ocean Ave in Flatbush.  The guy would have the station going on all hours, and it was super loud.  I complained and complained to my landlords, until they gave me a 1 bedroom in a building across the street.  I don’t understand why they couldn’t kick them out though.  In addition to the radio station I would also see people leaving the apartment with garbage bags filled with weed.
