As one person pointed out, everything in the world has changed, except how education is delivered. You could transport a college professor out of the classroom in the 1850’s and put him into a modern classroom and he could carry on teaching without much trouble.

I think this is about to change big-time. There is enough information on the internet that a person can easily educate themselves 70% of almost any college or tech degree and the other 30% they would then need classroom instruction.

In the near future, it’s possible to also have sophisticated simulations that can basically replace a teacher entirely.

Shouldn’t this be a golden opportunity for someone to take advantage of in the free market? Why can’t conservatives create much cheaper colleges that will provide educations without the slant? Are there true costs keeping the price high or are there barriers to entry for new institutions?
