We have a serious disagreement here. After my college experience I
realized that (some)people can be taught how to think, how to approach and
analysis problems and do better. And it can be done earlier in life. I also
disagree that IQ (speed ability) is what determines how far one can go in a
subject or a field. There are always people with lower IQ that work harder and
achieve more than some people with higher IQ. I agree that
people do learn in different ways, some being self taught and some being taught
how to think outside of the public education. For instance when I went from an a
feeder elementary school to junior high I ended up in the honor classes. For
example let's take the science class I was in. I was the only WASP in the class
(White Anglo Saxon Protestant). Rae Marie was the only Italian Catholic in
the class. The rest of the class was Jewish. The School was a combined
Junior and Senor High School and the largest group in the school was Italian
Catholics. I believe both in academic fields and in the moral fields that the
educational system in the early junior high and possible earlier a course
could be taught that would help our children to think and act at a higher
level.
As for Andy's course this is a course in a University which is wider in
scope for a reason(s).

If one wants to learn to do photography as fast and as cheaply as
possible one should not be in a University setting but taking seminars at the Jacob Javits
Center or similar venues and attending local photography
courses at art centers and community outreach programs.
