Re:Colleges should be tuition free and public (Score 2)

My partner was successful with Lambda, and landed a good job with a Fortune 500 company. We don't consider Lambda a scam at all. It's not the same thing as college. Lambda's shortcomings are well publicized, and he went into it expecting to deal with those challenges. But it's not worthless either. He went into it expecting something like guided self-study on steroids, and he got better than that, with invaluable coaching and job placement services. His ISA is over $700/mo, but he's already come out ahead of his old minimum wage salary even accounting for the year off work to study.

Lambda has a lot of work to really be the future of education, but for our sample size of one, it's a great success.
