I don't think it brutalizes anyone. Capable kids must be challenged, or they get bored. Kids that coulndt keep up went to a different track. at the very minimum, pressure during oral exams taught to work against the clock, develop conviction and do your best to defend your position.

> pressure during oral exams taught to work against the clock, develop conviction and do your best to defend your position. In some students. In others it just engendered the feeling that they're morons and that math is just "not for them". Math and science are for absolutely everybody. Not everybody will make a career out of them, but everybody can enjoy them.
