Maybe I'll do a search later to know what I just read. "So, where are you going to school?" "WeWork." "Yeah, I know we work but where are you going to school?" "2U." "Not to me, to you. What's the school?"
You're the one who's always saying that higher ed needs to innovate. Then when someone does it all you can do is make fun of them.. Classy.
FlatIron started in Houston, TX. They were emailing me about some teaching positions, which I unfortunately can't take (due to my visa restrictions).
