Herein lies the difficulty. This school assumes that the "skills necessary" are inherent and do not need to be taught. Whenever one sees such things, one may asume that students are to be taught to act in such a way as to simulate the existence of such skills. The corresponding lessons give the students a false sense of acchievement - one which they inherently understand to be incumbent upon adherance to the prevailing "speak." In brainwashing terms, this is an advanced form of "language limiting." Be careful which professors he chooses! He may have already been compromised.
Yes--see my response #7.
