I might buy that argument if the student and the professor shared the profits.
They don't.
Instead, the student is bound to pay every last cent of the education. Nowhere, other than court punishments and child support are debts protected against bankruptcy.
So yes, if I pay for it, I own it or I control it.
Edit: You misunderstand. I said servant, and I mean servant; not slave. Webster: "a person who is hired to do household or personal duties such as cleaning and cooking". Even the McDonalds cashier is that, when taking my order.
- chasing 12y agoYour professors are not your servants. Nor should they be.
- CocaKoala 12y agoWhat "household or personal duties" is your professor obligated to perform?
- dragonwriter 12y agoUnless your "professor" is actually a personal tutor you've hired individually rather than one many people -- that the institution can swap out without you having recourse -- working for an institution with which you are contracting for an array of educational services, you might have a point with your whole servant argument.
