[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you paying $85,000 a year to have a 23 year old grad student who might not even have a Masters yet teaching your child? Not a good answer...but here is the actual answer from an interesting essay from the WSJ: "College is one of the few products whose consumers try to get as little out of it as possible, because its market value is tied to the credential, not to the education that it is meant to represent, says Bryan Caplan, an economist at George Mason University and author of “The Case Against Education.” He believes that 80% of the value of graduating college today is the signal it sends to employers, and that few students outside of the hard sciences learn much of real value.[/quote]
