choppy – I was pretty clear about stating that we had no derech to go off of. And as Feif explained, this was NOT an MO life. It was a “live on the fence” life. I have to tell you that the kids in my class were raised wearing pants/shorts and no hair covering, few made brachos Except for when eating bread. We davened but minyans were not ‘required’, it was a “better this than nothing” lifestyle that was created to keep these kids (50 years ago) out of public school and for MOST, it worked. This is the place Reb Noson Tzvi went. Nobody did anything bad, they just drifted. The girls in my daughters school who went off did so with a vengence. The things they did in 6-11th grade behind their parents backs were things I never would have done in all my years of “modern” life. It’s a non-comparison. And MANY of the kids in my class became very frum when they got to Israel. Some opened yeshivas and yeshivot there.
