A mother’s role is not to learn a blatt gemara with her son. A mother’s role is to offer love, hadracha, make a yiddishe home, etc. A bachur is supposed to get intellectual stimulation from his rov, his chavrusas, etc. Partners in Torah and Oorah are for people who want to learn with the not-yet frum. Even if my mother were frum, I wouldn’t bother learning torah with her. Maybe Tzenah Urenah or Nefesh Shimshon. But to do “real” learning with people who aren’t immersed in the realm of shakla ve tarya, and who aren’t immersed in the lashon haGemara is fruitless.
