Hey, put a business plan together and go for it. People thought running prisons would be wildly profitable too.

If you think there’s a market teaching inner city DC kids, then go for it. I think you are eventually sued out of business, whether the claims are meritorious or not.

Modern universities are there to generate IP, to subsist on government grants, etc. Tuition pays for about 11 percent of a college education, as it sits today.

Let’s not talk about the massive amount of debt they all piled up building gaudy monstrosities during the 2000’s.

The reason why I’m talking about the sencondary market is because it is relatively unregulated as compared to the K-12 market.

As a business person teaching inner-city DC kids, don’t forget you’ll be forced to take the special ed kids too (LEAST RESTRICTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT). You’ll be forced to evaluate each kid, every day, to see if they had been beaten or abused the night before, and report the same.

Then, you’ll be evaluated on test scores, whether they graduated, and then ultimately on whether they could hack college-level math.

But look at the gold in them thar hills pa! $30K per student in one of the most corrupt systems in the country - like there’d be $30K available to you if you took over. That’s all borrowed money. The actual PARENTS would have to pay, and they don’t have $30K per year.

Lots of private schools out there already, its just that each one gets to pick and choose its students. You won’t.
