I would be happy to say that I agree with you. I have a big concern
though.<br>
There are students in the schools that don't have parents that know
enough<br>
to be able to teach their children. Either the parents never got to
go to<br>
yeshiva for one reason or another, or there was a divorce in the family
etc.<br>
If the kids don't know some of the story from school, when will
they learn<br>
it to teach to their children.<br><br>

It is not me that anyone has to agree with. Remember, I had a story
from Reb Yaakov Kamenetsky in which he said this.<br><br>
I will agree with you that it depends on the school. Certainly, if many
of the students come from "weak" homes, as one often finds in
day schools in cities with a relatively small number of observant
families, then the school should teach much about the Seder.<br><br>
However, even (or especially) in the Chareidi schools here in Brooklyn,
one finds that the kids come home "armed." In these
schools the parent body is well educated Jewishly. <br><br>
