Why are movies seen by millions but lectures only seen by a few handfuls. Why are paperbacks read by millions but textbooks only read by scholars. Why do we pay to learn when we could have McD's place ad's give us a education for free. Why are we paid to think when we can use the internet.

RFK "dreamed of things that never were and said, Why Not?"

When a whole movie can go on a one dollar DVD, WHY are students paying tens of thousands of dollars (via debt) to attend live lectures? When paperback novels go for $5.00, WHY are basic textbooks twenty times that? When a good percentage of courses are now taught by bargain adjuncts, WHAT exactly are students paying for. A "brand"? An "accreditation"? Undergraduate college (and high school for that matter) needs a tech revolution. Who will lead the end run around the status quo?

Another reason might be that the renew FAFSA form is now only available on the web. Many forms that used to be mailed out to students in the past, were never returned.
