Interestingly, the comments also throw up the distinction between learning (self interest) and education (as required by peers?) what about it people? I also like what Lorraine points out about the old 'something for nothing' problem with humans. both thumbs up for Thomas's plain speaking. there will always be intervention points in the learning cycle.

MIT and the rest will provide content....but you will have to organize it for yourself. Your time is worth something (presumably), so the cost you are paying may not be dollars and cents but it is a cost. Like some of the other commenters, I work almost exclusviely with home educators. There is a powerful thread in the home education community which strives for "free home education". They are amazingly creative in seeking out and finding "free" resources. But once they have these "free resources" what they find is 1) they are incomplete, 2) they are often obsolete or just plain untrue, 3) even the good free material has remarkably poor production values, making the very act of trying to use them another investment in your time and effort. And then comes the "oh poop" (feel free to substitute another word) effect when teacher and taught hit a part of the topic neither can or does understand. Where is the "free" instructor who will guide you through it? If you are a lucky home educator, Ms. Smith next door just happens to have a master's degree in math and can get you through calculus when mom can't.....but maybe there is no Ms. Smtih next door. Or maybe Ms. Smith doesn't want to help, isn't available this week, wants to go on vacation or just doesn't like your kids. You get the point. We pay for education because it is valuable and talented people invest their time and effort making it "effortless" for the rest of us. There is no way to make education truly free...as several writers have pointed out. The government, the Gates Foundation or someone is going to pay for it. Our goal should not be to avoid educaiton's cost but to get the best education can provide for a cost society (and students and their families) can afford.
