Why is this crazy?  How does for profit hurt you?[/quote]

How does for profit benefit the students?

From the article:

In truth, Whittle has never had much to say about the things most people talk about when the subject is schools: teaching methods, subject areas, the mysterious working of children’s minds. “He promotes education reform but can’t name a single reformer,” a journalist noted in 1990, and this still seems more or less true. In a conversation that lasts an hour and three quarters, not one education thinker comes up. Prospective parents, staring at a $40,000-plus tuition and thumbing through the sumptuous catalog, with its 30 pages on “The Team and Extended Family”—dazzling re?sume?s, studio-quality headshots—won’t find much of an answer to one obvious question: What will my kid be learning?

For-profit schools are primarily designed to benefit their investors.  The students’ well-being is secondary.[/quote]
