אוקלידס אז והיום

My son, who is almost 17 is studying in a Yeshiva Ketana, loves math and has taught himself high-school level math despite never learning algebra in Talmud Torah.
The Rosh Yeshiva who was not pleased with my son's performance in general amongh other things didn't like his extracurricular occupations, including the math. he claimed that they are coming at the expense of his Gemara learning.
At the request of the Rosh Yeshiva we took our son to a professorial who gave us his assessment that my son is highly intelligent and full of intellectual curiosity and therefore. in his opinion. would find himself better in a Yeshiva-High school.
I went to the Rav of the place where we live (it's a very Charedi place) and he didn't reject the idea at all, on the contrary he was willing to write a letter of recommendation if necessary! But since me and my wife where unsure about such a drastic change, the Rav suggested we go together to HaRav Shteinman for his advice.

To make a long story short, Rav Shteinman suggested keeping him in the regular Yeshiva but accommodating him with a modification to the regular curriculum: instead of learning bekiyus in the afternoon, he had a longer noon break to spend on extracurricular studies and afterwords had a chavrusha with someone in a Halacha Kolell.
concerning my son's interest in math Rav Shteinma didn't see any problem, he smiled and said "What's the problem? is there anything wrong with knowing that 1+1=2?"
My the front of my apartment is full of campaign signs supporting United Torah Judaism, this anti-Euclidean sign isn't among them.

IMHO, Euclid is the least of the dangers facing the Charedi community, so is the anti-Euclidean Charedi sentiment that is evident in this campaign sign and so are those who think that anti-Euclidean sentiment is the danger facing the Charedi community...
