My school taught by hiring models of tz’nius as teachers.

The topic of tz’nius was rarely discussed; it was self-understood that we were to be tzanuos.

That is a fair response (Benchwarmer’s opinion notwithstanding).

You were not taught Tznius as Halacha, but rather as “something nice Jewish girls do” (l’havdil, like nice jewish boys becoming doctors).

This is an “Alter Heim” approach, where the mother used to teach by example, even though the girls knew no “halacha”. Only here, you have the teachers taking the place of the parent.

If I had to guess, I would say you went to a Chassidish school?
