Joseph, if you ask most people in chinuch the problem is that there is an ongoing race as to at what young to begin Gemorah. At one time, many years ago, bochrim had to have a firm foundation in Chumash and Navi ( both with meforshim ) before tackling Gemorah. Not any more as virually no time is spent on Navi and Chumash after third or fourth grade/
They have virtually no concept of how what they are learning fits in with Jewish history. Joseph, I wish what you claim to be was in fact happening but it is not.
