Is there such a thing as "Structured Practice" for acting?

Is there anyone else who doesn’t like Meisner classes?

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an important class but I just don’t like how it’s been taught to me and I’ve had 3 different teachers. Not a debate, I’m just curious since everyone one of my actor friends seem to like it so much for some reason.
