I always thought it would be cool to create small SPECIFC colleges

For example, I went to a school for a physics degree, but i could have EASILY seen this done with a small group in someones home for 4 years.

That would have been much more cost effective. I would LOVE to start a small conservative- minded college teaching a physics curriculum

I wouldn’t hesitate for even a second to attend your Physics class.

It’s one thing to read a boat load of stuff and quite another to get feed back in an open environment.

Guidance if you will.

The issue is cost and time.

Online learning can only deal with those issues if they are set up in very small groups.

Most of what I know about free online learning is that of a passive consumer of information, like reading but with video and lecture.

I think your idea is fantastic !!!

What’s required, however is a model that pays the provider/Professor for his time given such a small student body. I’m not saying it can’t be done.

Sounds like more fun than most schools. I hated having to take so many unrelated courses.

But will you teach those physicists how to be good citizens? The flip side of the squalid mess into which the university system has degenerated is the true liberal arts college like Hillsdale or Grove City which teach the real liberal arts, as they were once understood--the tools, knowledge and skills of a free man.
