what do you mean by learning a spell you already know?

[Rotem]

When you go to a class, you learn a spell at the end of the class. The spell taught in class is decided by the teacher and is global, if he's going to teach Accio, you'll all learn Accio even if you learnt Accio yesterday.

But what if you already learnt Accio? What good will it be going to another class about Accio? That's learning a spell you already know.
