Personally, I don't think the discussion should be about whether or not these schools
have merrit. What about the "California Bureau for Private Postsecondary
Education" ( http://www.bppe.ca.gov/ ) which has existed for less than 4 years now.
Does it really have merrit? What are the regulations, and is this really worth having
another california berucracy that makes it even harded to open up bussiness here?

Well to play devil's advocate:
creative, qusetioning students with computer science skills are valued by the
industrialists nowadays. They actually seek out people who are a little rebellious.
I read that some of the more innovative Chinese high
schools are ditching standardized tests, encuraging more creative education, as they see
it as their only ticket to becoming an economy on the high end of the value chain (more
creative, more design-focused)
