I’ve been saying this for years about art school especially. There are thousands of brilliant, broke artists out there. What does the school offer?

I'm trying out something like this, btw: https://edeeu.education/pamela-fox ...It'll be interesting to see who signs up and what directing their studies is like.

This is a cool platform & intriguing model! There’s no “about”… so I’m wondering if you created it yourself

now apply that thinking to US healthcare, military, and so on. And this is how you end up with a plane that costs a trillion USD, and life expectancy in the bottom third of the OECD.

I taught in MBA program, most popular elective, made $5k a quarter—probably < min. wage (I consider it a hobby). Students paid over $5k each—big markup. But when I offered to teach outside of school students didn’t sign up—no loans, no credits, etc. Schools are not about classes.

I went to art school. I learned nothing from the profs; I learned a hell of a lot from the environment the profs created. I also studied physics. Again, I learned little from the profs, but everything from the environment they created.

Very misleading. The $40/hour figure calculates professor compensation rate based on all time spent working, while the tutoring cost multiplies that rate only by the number of hours spent in the act of teaching. Left out is preparation, research, etc

Further: Yes, overhead is out of control, but it's obviously insane to assume you can operate w/ zero overhead costs, as this does. You need a classroom (not to mention lab), coordination, someone to answer the phones...
