  2. but if school operates the way that NY times suggests, it wouldn't just be time consuming, we don't know if it would apply to a class of 20 or 30. I don't mean i like doing MC or memorizing things, but the program that they suggest will only work with self-motivated students. People who don't like to study will eventually drop out and go do stuff they like. Not everyone likes to study or is good at it. I think studying is actually tiring and not fun at all. If i can become a tennis pro, i would. (Sadly, i am not that good)
