Why Do Kids Go Off the Derech?

Everyone wants to know the answer.  What can we do?  What should we do?  How do we sell Judaism to teenagers? 

But what if we're asking the wrong question?  What if the problem begins with the amount of free time and the aimless feeling our system gives so many teenagers?  What if we started challenging kids rather than coddling them?  What if we made school more rigorous?  What if we encouraged teenagers to get jobs and marry as soon as they finished high school?
