What an amazing site! Thanks for that.
Eventually, that will happen. The "Home Schooling" movement is (was?) the start. The thing that the "ed biz" has previously provided was some "up front" measure of how well an individual was equipped to function in/at some kind of work that prospective employers could count on. They have successfully diluted/denigrated that function to the point where they/it no longer serve(s) that purpose. Guilds and unions once did this task, but they abandoned it (mostly) to the "professional educators".
One proposal that I saw that actually makes a kind of sense is some (or a group of) certified testing facilities. An individual would go to one of them, take a written plus practical comprehensive exam, and be "blessed" as skilled to a certain degree in a certain subject, thus divorcing the mode of obtaining the skill from the proof of possessing it.
But it's a BIG ship, and changing direction will take time. I think the end result will be exactly as you postulate.
I had to log in just to tell you THANK YOU. I have never herd of such a site, and I am immensely grateful for you posting that. I have had a friend who has been asking me to help him understand economics for some time, but I’m not able to explain everything I know. Now he can watch the videos on that site and learn at his own pace! Thanks again.
(Ironically, he stopped going to College because he didn’t want to pay tens of thousands of dollars for that “increasingly worthless piece of paper.” I feel the same way, now, although years ago, I did get two of them, lol).
