Wizard Schools? - A crazy look at a new way to teach CS

  • You could do the same kind of thing that yCombinator is doing now. Accept the best and the brightest, train them for a couple years. Let them develop products inside the school by providing them contacts, advice, etc. Then take a percentage of the companies that make it. The students get a great education with the chance to do something great and the school gets the chance to fund the next wave of statups.

  • Hello. My name is Aur Saraf.

    No, this won't happen. We're drifting AWAY form that, not TOWARD it, in the last 50 years.

    And yet, a revolution in education WILL come. Some day, someone WILL figure out that generic schools are stupid and will provide a better solution en masse, and creating a better solution is trivial.

    But there's no money in education. Why? Because it's declared government business.

    Therefore, he who will do that will sweat blood and do it just because he's so passionate about it.

    Myself, I'd rather work small - pick a few good ones, instill in them the proper ideas and virality, so that they do the same.

  • Wait, so where do I apply?
