True they are supposed to teach you Emunah and Hashkafah in Yeshiva or BY. If they failed to well then they didn’t do their job but either way you owe it to yourself to fill in the gaps. Most of what I know today is what I went on and learned after high school and the first few years Beis medrash. The bottom line is a person is obligated to do what they can to supplement whatever was lacking in either their upbringing or their schooling. I’m not saying the school is innocent but Hashem will say to us “let’s see, you finished Yeshiva at 20 and you lived a nice long life. In those 70 some odd years from 20 and on you had plenty of time to make up for whatever you weren’t taught. So why didn’t you?” We won’t have an answer to that. So if your Yeshiva or BY failed at their task you have your work cut out for you to go ahead and make up for lost time.
