A student's question

My teacher keeps drilling into our collective heads that using the break command is harmful, and that if we wish to terminate a loop early it would be far better to create a boolean variable, set it to 0, and add a condition to the head of the loop, and set the boolean variable to 1 when a break is needed. Note that this way you actually have to check this every single loop (where it is not needed almost every time) as well as waste a command to reset the boolean in case it was set to true.

Is there a reason to this?

Good for you, code monkey. Back to typing now. Make sure to catch all your exceptions.

You lack either reading comprehension or sense of humor.

I don't have time to play with you today. I'll just say that only syntax-e, datum->syntax, quote-syntax and define-syntax are required. In CL, quote, defmacro, define-symbol-macro and gensym are required. 4 definitions, 4 definitions. Go away.
