so i've been reading for a little while and need to stick my big, fat head in a hornet's nest over this mcdojo thing.
i've read the term and figure it means any or all of the following:
1. a school that uses professional sales techniques
2. a school that overcharges
3. a school run by people who are incompetent
4. a school run by people with no love for the art
5. a school run by people somebody dislikes
6. a school teaching a style somebody disapproves of
7. a school run by somebody with politics someone else dislikes
8. a school located in a fancy mall or suburb
9. a school that teaches primarily children.
etc.
there are a lot of really bad schools out there. there are also a lot of really good schools out there.
i'm just curious: how many people consider professional business practices a sign that a school is of poor quality? i get the idea it's a significant minority, if not a majority? and for those who do, why?
not trying to pick a fight here. just looking to start a conversation.
