The parents wanted the curriculum to include lessons on Lithuanian, Polish, and Hebrew languages as well as history and geography of these nations taught by a person from these nations. They also wanted religious lesson in student's native language. The parents wanted a say in designing curriculum and making library selections as well as voting rights in the school boards. They also asked to allow students to freely select their extracurricular activities, organize student activities, attend public events and lectures, and otherwise have control of their free time.

However, after opening of separate Jewish schools, the number of Jewish students decreased even though the overall number of students continued to grow.
