That is the type of teaching they do at St Clair, and it really limits a lot of people. Luckily I already had some experience and I've done so much out of school, I already had a good grasp of what they were teaching. But there's a lot of people that failed Java and failed hard. Then again, people don't really try in my course, so it's their own fault. It can all be learned... just not as easily as it might be. The fact that all the teachers teach differently and at different speeds doesn't help. I really agree. That is the type of teaching they do at St Clair, and it really limits a lot of people.
