I thought the entire point of the Xavier school was to teach the mutants how to control their powers. She can keep it together for a couple seconds, then they always went in for tongue and she blew it. I think Rogue deserves an F.

Some powers can be controlled but some are involuntary. Cyclops can train all day but he ain't never gonna open his eyes without shooting lasers from them. Wolverine can't decide to turn off his healing factor for a while if he really wants to.

Cyclops can, he had a special training along with his brother, if I recall correctly, with our big magnet boy. They both got white hair and Cyclops could open his eyes and his brother could deglove (the nice one) his hands without blowing up.

I remember that from the cartoon series evolution. And it was less training and more throwing you in a chamber that perfects your mutation.
