A "how-to-fake-being-a-lady class". I can think of several better classes to give than flower picking, if infiltration were the goal here. I know that what you said is the official explanation, but it doesn't really make sense. Learning about other villages, their customs and leaders, ideologies and such would've been much more important. As would learning basic Genjutsu, chakra extinguishing (IE hiding from sensors), sealing and summoning genjutsu (e.g. to hide books like Sai did, to summon tools in times of need etc).

These kids seem to have been taught more than just the basics, including advanced theories on chakra, math and physics Well i was quite surprised when i saw them teach newtonian physics, since that was a question on Naruto's chunin exam that apparently 90% of the people present didn't know. (for those who don't know: the question about throwing a kunai from a tree). Depending on the difficulty grade, that means they had geometry, Trigonometry, and possibly calculus. Since Shino posed an even more difficult question, this could also include fluid mechanics (study of flow of air over the kunai) or differential equations (to more accurately take into account dampening effects from wind for instance). That's a hell of a lot of math to handle for 10-year-olds.
