I started the article with the same skeptical mindset as you, and to be frank, I was in support of these by the time I finished it.
I can definitely see this being a disaster. I can also see it as becoming quite successful. Time will tell, but having more choices in education is better. Let those who can afford to experiment pay those fees. When I look at what people overpay for their cars, I'm going to guess this will have better returns than the vehicle will.

A false dichotomy, don't you think? Someone sending their kids to these microschools are probably as likely to send their kids to museums, etc than those who send kids to public schools. In my anecdotal experience, they are more likely. In the old days (i.e. 10-20 years ago), sending kids to museums, libraries and field trips for education was heavily promoted by those advocating for homeschooling.
