According to the website, Cushing Academy costs $31,200 per year for tuition. Assuming 15 hours per week of classes and 40 weeks per year, that works out to $52 per hour of class.

If there's an average of 20 students in a class, that means each class costs an average of $1,040.

What are students getting for their $1,040? A teacher standing in front of a classroom is old technology. At least as old and outdated as papyrus scrolls.

And yet,
they still find papyrus scrolls.
I have books from the 18th Century.
Amazon can wipe your Kindle clean by remote control.

Somehow, I don't think books are going away. I don't mind reading online. But I like the stability and permanence of books.

Until people stop reading all together books will be here.
