Ujm, while there were some yeshivishe families who separated their kids in the previous generation….i have to admit that after talking to a lot of people and even rabbonim from that time, the truth is that the majority of frum families did not have the standards that we have today. That doesn’t mean we’re wrong; quite the opposite – so when old timers talk about their parents not telling them not to go to young Israel houses, it’s because TV was almost as common by us as it was by them. Mixing genders is where things were very different; MO did, and the rest didn’t. Lashrus was also something that we are able to do better today – most yidden used to eat cholov stam and not be concerned with pas yisroel, for instance.
