Patur,
My point was simply rhetorical. **IF** davening for an hour and missing classes is not the right thing to do, the person doing it will likely not find that out because she will spend all her time davening, and will miss the class were other students learned to do other wise.
I am not saying that that is the case here. Merely that your line of reasoning is flawed. Its like saying actually cooking is far more important than anything I could ever learn in culinary school. Of course it is, but if you never go to culinary school, you may be cooking wrong the whole time, and then where are you?
The same is true here. It may be that davening **properly** is far more important than anything you will learn in school (I think that’s debatable, but I’ll let the more chassidish/spiritually-minded here assume that point). But if you don’t go to class, you won’t know whether the way you are davening is actually the proper way or not. If it turns out that it isn’t, well now, a fine mess you’re in!
