Covering the business of education and training

I dont think non-profit colleges closing up is a good thing.
The way I see it fropros do what they need to do to meet the bare requirments for accredidation. Then they do the same thing with the students, give them the bare minimum of what needs to be taught and send them on their merry way.
I am speaking from personal experience, so i suppose they arnt all like that but I imagine they would be.
But who knows if the nonn-profit colleges are any better..:/

First, I am a Graduate of two For Profit Colleges...one accredited and one not, American Intercontinental University Online and Canyon College. Also my wife has a Masters Degree in Education plus a teaching certification from the University of Phoenix Online

I grew up as a fan of alternative education being a minority based in the inner city...my high school diploma was from an alternative school. Most non for-profit main stream schools on all levels are very slow to change, don’t have the students best interest as a priority and are very much out of touch with the more modern concepts of non-linear learning based on internet concepts(distance learning). Change...it seems... is forever and we must except it; For Profit Institutions don’t come free of issues however and are run like businesses but they do change better than traditional brick and mortar schools and offer an even better real world education....they are very competitive due to money being the bottom line.....they boot you out quicker when policy is violated and offer no special help....next inline please if you will. Moreover, non for profit are becoming more like for profit and accreditation for both is becoming very controversial...Meaning traditional schools can maintain theirs and newer schools can’t get them or the accrediting bodies quicker to take away theirs. The more traditional schools have become too traditional and in my opinion intimidated by the non traditional approach. However most of main stream America is run by the traditional graduate and even teaching at these alternative schools and change is resisted by the general status quo…….your better minds are coming from the neediest and necessity is the mother of invention. America must change and education via for profits is a good thing and even those controversial non accredited universities offer excellent educations and the blue bloods of America better watch out because you can not continue to keep people down without holding oneself back.
