I thought it sad that the first presenter had two professors as the main advisers. That is almost a guarantee of failure as most professors are theory orientated. The sharks are private sector real world businessmen who are not theory orientated but have real world experience. Imagine if these two sharks replaced the professors.. the value of this experience is for the students to learn what not to do.

What's in the water @Babson?? Instead of creating new ways to implement a bad idea.... you should really exercise your imagination and come up - with new ONES. NOt just an idea but a business... my observation as a pupil investor, is that people are asking problem questions far too often, what does that mean, questions that create more problems and not ones that lead to actual solutions. As my 78 yr old biz partner iterates "#Nothing in life works, unless YOU DO, STAY THE HELL OFF FACEBOOK!!!"

I'd suggest a dvd program for home school parents. Instead of a generic program, it would be mini lessons (say for example 8th grade math). With 10 dvd's , students could learn every concept the regular class room students would learn. They just wouldn't get "filler" that happens in the classroom. Also, the lessons would be in mp4 format so they could be put onto their tablet pcs, or put onto USB flash drives, so they could watch them on large HDTV's that many have now days.

This video is showing that education doesn't necessarily mean intelligent.

The first pitch was a useless plug in.
