The position Prime Minister David Cameron faces as he enters talks in Brussels is similar to the situation in 1974, when Britons last had a chance to vote on their European destiny.Britain should exit. They can join when the new treaty is made.
They must keep their own currency and will not give up their borders.

Some will learn the core faster than others.
Some will learn one subject more easily than others
There is no economy of scale in teaching.
