I'm a mother of three (a 13 year old boy, 8 year old boy, and 5 year old girl). My 8 year old really didn't like Hebrew School. But then when he went this year, he started to become orthodox. But he is trying to change my whole family into becoming an orthodox family. He is making us buy Kosher meat and have Shabbat (I don't mind that but even on vacation, he insisted on it), he wants to walk on Shabbat, and he thinks that if he doesn't do all of this he will be a bad boy. This is what his Hebrew teacher said to him (not in those exact words). His Hebrew teacher is also orthodox.
But my family is conservative, and we want some Judiasm in our house, but not this much. This Hebrew teacher basically said that you have to do this and that or you're a bad boy. She even said "you can go home and tell your parents you can miss 4 days of school for Passover", and that's the parent's choice (he goes to a public school). I was wondering if anyone can think of anything I can do to stop this.
