      Anyway, none of this is secret knowledge. This stuff has been studied to pieces. But with so much excess money sloshing around because the wealthy and the large corporations barely pay taxes... Inequality threatens even the best-case scenario of market forces acting as controls.

      If Silicon Valley wants to take down "elitist" academy: take any student who could get into a community college—or, hey, fund community colleges. They're amazing: at once acting as a remedial for K-12 and also as higher-ed or vocational step, and with practically open-admissions.

      Lambda School takes students like this all the time. Your tweet stream is coming from a place of ignorance. I challenge you to follow @AustenAllred on twitter and read some of his stories about their students. I think you'll reconsider your position.

      I studied job-training for my dissertation. There are decades of research on these kind of efforts—well-meaning ones. This isn't some uncharted territory. The students "who can handle the learning curve" are a very particular slice. The crisis is the ones with obstacles.

      How many people do you think that Lambda School will be able to successfully educate per year say.....5 years from now? How high is their ceiling before they run out of "cream" students and the model falters?

      Depends on the admission model! If they keep to the majors that already have no student loan crisis (coding, nursing) and act like somewhat like a traditional university with post-paid tuition with admission to the already well-placed, it's one thing.+

          The real issue is what "incentive-aligning" cannot do for the student-loan crisis. You could convert a large number of traditional, non-profit higher-ed educations to this model without fundamentally changing the student debt crisis. UNC student loan default rate is around 1.5%.

          I think perhaps that you and some Lambda supporters are talking about two different things. I think they can potentially provide a great education to 10s of thousands of people per year which would be a very big deal even if it didn't solve the student-loan crisis.
