There are arguments on both sides. High points in human inquiry featured independant teachers supportd by students as in Socrates and 14th century Paris. Institutionalization and formal curricula can be big mames for make-work efforts by otherwise mediocre faculties.

This site, all of us, and even Thomas Sowell is so far from their horizon of consideration that it is not even realistic to think they would read it, or even understand it if they did.
