(1) The Way Corps considers itself leadership training. I am not impressed at all by the products coming from the in-residence Way Corps program. Yes-men and -women with none of the skills required to lead God's people, let alone a military unit or schoolchildren.
(2) Academic training there does not even begin to develop critical thinking or research skills, the end goal of any higher education program. It is an embarrassment to American universities to award any degree at the completion of the Way Corps training.
There wasn't all that much academic activity when we were in residence in RC, either, IMO. I did learn how to clean the hell out of anything within reach, fire a .22 rifle and a 20 gauge shotgun, and get yelled at.
I already knew how to change a poopy diaper, but as a result of that activity, I learned what those nincompoops should NOT be feeding their toddlers. I remember we were supposed to memorize the red thread, and were instructed exhaustively on the mathematically exact and scientifically precise method of brushing and flossing our teeth. I think at some point after we left Greek was taught by Wa&&e Cl&&p. And I think there was a class on firing handguns, the one thing I'm sorry I missed. No pun intended.

Doesn't sound all that different from Fellow Laborers.
(Except for the dismal lack of academic activity in Fellow Laborers.)

Two issues here:
