[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched this and it was shocking. Low to mediocre at best educational value (even at the "good" schools), binge drinking and delaying adulthood, gaining no marketable skills while racking up $100K in student debt that can never be discharged even in bankruptcy. I've heard all this before, but the documentary put it all together in a way that's got me thinking about alternatives to buying into that broken system. Does anyone have any experience with some of the interesting ideas mentioned -- the UnCollege movement, for one, or schools like[b] Deep Springs in California[/b]? I feel like higher ed is the new tech bubble, housing bubble and shortly after my kids have bought in at sky high prices, the whole thing will burst.[/quote] Deep Springs takes about 30 kids and is a two year college.
