online school: not for me

i came across schoolism from a post at deviantart, and thought it was a great find. it gives everyone a good chance to access lessons given by some top artists. so i registered. i chose to enroll in a class. and what the hell.. it is so expensive. the class consisted of 9 lessons which costs ~1000 USD (that's like P50,000). they offered a self-taught version which costs around 50USD! waaah! i could already enroll for one whole sem with that amount. such a shame. why did they have to make knowledge so expensive and elitist.
