In Germany beginners are currently taught several things that the world (or at least the poor defenseless students) are better off without. SJS, although I don't like them, are not very high on this list. My top 3 is:

* Strong 2-bids <eek!>
* 1NT opening showing 16 - 18 HCP <sigh!>
* When they finally get rid of strong 2-bids they learn... Benji <d'oh!>

In my opinion the right way is to start with four W2 bids right away, and only later add 2♣ for the strong hands.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!
