I don't understand how does it relate to the point that I made.

You said that I was wrong about some students wanting and needing a strict environment full of rote learning. I provided an example of one such environment that has been remarkably successful for a certain group of students. You said such an environment was worthless. I observed that the students coming out of such an environment were escaping poverty and finding new opportunities they didn't have before, which would suggest that it wasn't worthless.

I don't think the facility you described is different from the ordinary schools when it comes to how sciences are taught and how tests are performed.

And that's where the useless rote lives, not in the "strictness" of the environment. As well a liberal, private school will have the same problems. It's not about the where we teach. It's about how we teach.
