I'm not going to have any sympathy for argument that starts out with the demand that a person be able to get their education locally. A great many people have to go somewhere else and move around for school. That is the norm in a great many places. Also to pursue work, many people have to move.

The whole point of this is to disrupt the current education model, and your criticism is that it doesn't follow an aspect of the current education model.

Yes, a lot of people travel away from home for school. I'm sure it can be a great experience. Should that be a requirement for an excellent education? Of course not.

Does your lack of sympathy to that point matter terribly?

Not at all, especially when the click-through link asking for Professors says: "Work from anywhere. Online or in person - the choice is yours."

This seems like the beginnings of something great. I'm very curious to see how it shapes up.

This seems like the beginnings of something <i>essential.</i>

The current system is hopelessly broken and corrupt. It's not serving most students, it's not serving most teachers, and it's not even serving most employers.

It mostly seems to be serving bean counters, bureaucrats, and property speculators, who are all making out like bandits.

A serious disruption is inevitable.
