Yes, please!  I had four different Russian teachers and one of them
was Russian, and they all used the schoolbook pronunciation (schtsch),
plus when I went to Moscow, I don't recall hearing the well-known
words that contain that letter being pronounced any differently than
I heard in school.  Also I've never heard a recording of Volga Boatman
where they didn't hit it hard :-)
