Yeah, by the time you’re taking a class three times, even if you’re auditing, it’s not so much “gaming” the system as really trying hard. If that is worth it to a kid, I say more power to him.

In the arts, it is widely known that it is not always the most talented who “make it” so much as the ones who work the hardest and never quit. To me, gaming the system implies a short cut, and this seems to be more of a “long way home” scenario.
