You most defiantly to not want to show up for fundies class
Richard, when I used the word "afford", I didn't necessarily mean money. For some people, the logistics involved in getting an instructor and classmates for a Fundies class are so complicated that they feel they HAVE to pass the first time through, because it's so unlikely they'd be able to do it all again.
Yes. I really think the biggest problem with Fundies is that, in the five years since I took it, it really has become to a great extent an exam, rather than a class. This is a product of the fact that many people take it, not for the skills, but for the access to higher classes, and they can't afford not to pass the first time through.
