So if so many people here also hold of going faster why is there not a single normal and respected yeshiva that learns faster.

MDG- the reason they go quicker in Eretz yisrael is because they do not learn every single possible mehalech in a machlokes rishonim. It has nothing to do with being more advanced.

I have no problem if some yeshivos want to go slow. BUt why is there 40 yeshivos doing the same thing that all the gedolim opposed?

I onced asked one of my rabbeim if most gedolim were against this, who are we following that was for it. Basically who says what the yeshivos are doing is right. His answer was more or less that rav shach did not really understand this generation…. and a lot of shtusim. But if Rav Shach understood politics, understood shidduchim and understood chinuch, why by learning which was his main field and he excelled at it more than anyone else something he could not understand?

And yes I have plenty of my own sedarim (which were frowned on) to finish mesechtos… but there is a difference between bikios and biyun. Bikiyus let us say means gemara rashi. But there is such a thing as knowing a mesechta biyun. i want to be able to learn such a mehalach, a mehalach that covers ground and gets deep into it also. If the mehalach is widespread in Israel, why is nobody teaching it in America?
