In my yeshiva high school during the sixties, our rebbes were musmachim of Lithuanian yeshivas. Boys would ask , in respectful fashion, basic questions ( I.e. why do wear a kippa ) . The rebbes assumed we were just being chutzpadik and yelled at us. Unfortunately, by the time we had a Rebbe ( in our senior year ) who was willing and able to answer, most of the boys were turned off and no longer interested.
