I'm totally in favour of for-profit education. Obviously teachers need to earn money/eat. Unregulated education tends to have a wide variety to choose from, from free to very expensive, and that's a good thing.
- cinntaile 6y agoNot for profit doesn't mean what you think it does. Teachers at not for profit schools earn a wage, just like at for profit schools. It means that the excess can be siphoned off to stock owners instead of being reinvested in the school.
- yunesj 6y ago> the excess can be siphoned off to stock owners instead of being reinvested in the school Yes, but the excess isn’t siphoned away to random people. It’s paid to the investors in exchange for creating the school.
- cinntaile 6y agoCan you clarify your argument, I don't get where you are going with this? Also once Coursera is on the stock market then you and I can own it and we didn't create the school.
