You pay for schooling and diplomas
Education is free
I'm not saying access to professors (if it's not just some jerk off grad student TA), materials and a hopefully fantastic library isn't without value. It does have value and should be a public service like a fire department.
I do think it's worth it to be a little anal about the semantics because "schools" in no way could ever have a monopoly on education.
I'll make another point. The "student centered" style of education that is largely based off discussions with your peers is bull****. For what those classes cost these days there better be a brilliant mother****er giving fantastic lectures and all the students need to be doing is asking questions. Not making long comments and carrying on debates or whatever.
