We had a meta "studying" class in 9th grade, and in hindsight I wish that was a thing in all schools. We all had time to work out our individual study behaviour, and the speaker took time out to work on particular hurdles with particular kids.

That's actually what my tutoring gig in high school was. In an open tutoring center, I was the one tutor who could handle the student that all the other tutors requested to not be paired up with again, so when they started a class-style after-school study session program like the one you described, I was recommended...into the class of the rowdiest and most obnoxious students (almost or actually all boys at various points in the semester), the ones that were on the fast track to drop out or be kicked out of school.

Some people who didn't know much about students development asked why so many of those kids had C's and D's by the end of that one semester. Meanwhile, actual teachers and tutors were amazed that I stuck it out through the semester (despite the students' best attempts to scare me away) and kept almost all of them from failing, and even got a few into the C and B territory, grade-wise. While it was meant to be a study hour just to get them to do their homework and stuff, most of what I did was helping them with study habits - because seriously, I was only there for one semester, I could give them short-term help or long-term help but not both.
