You're missing the point. It's time to challenge the traditional education business model. This is the digital age where information is cheap -- and college Institutions have no incentive to capitalize on this. They don't want to drive down their costs, why would they? Education should be like any other service and made available to anyone who wants it. Not to the richest kid. Not the kid with the highest GPA. Anyone.
No one is arguing specialized education is bad, but there are much more efficient ways of getting there.

- smokeyj 15y agoI agree that information isn't education. I disagree that the internet doesn't make education available -- you have to know where to find it. Now that you told me what college isn't about, what is it about? And why must it be threatened by a modern business model?
