Wow, what are you going to do with all your books? Surely they cannot all fit in a little Manhattan apartment. Anyways, best of luck to you!

[MrCropper]

"what are you going to do with all your books? Surely they cannot all fit in a little Manhattan apartment."

Books from floor to ceiling or bust! (I'm not selling or leaving them!)

MrCropper, aren't the home-schooling regulations much more burdensome in New York than in Utah? As you may recall from John Stossel's documentary on socialized education, "Stupid in America," New York City's government schoolteachers union is so powerful that the government schools are forbidden from even firing sex offenders; sex offender teachers are simply paid to go to a special room & do nothing during the workday

Won't the anti-competitive regulations be extra-tough for you in New York?

[MrCropper]

"MrCropper, aren't the home-schooling regulations much more burdensome in New York than in Utah?"

Yes, but it couldn't be much harder than fighting the rural sleepy-heads that are currently my customers.

In all likelihood, there will be a larger market for your type of school, but have you done any real market research? By that I mean, have you looked at other objectivist-style schools with which you may have to compete, how many students they have, how well equipped they are and what kind of demand there is for them?

[MrCropper]

"have you looked at other objectivist-style schools with which you may have to compete, how many students they have, how well equipped they are and what kind of demand there is for them?"

If there are any Objectivists running schools in NYC, I'll introduce myself and apply for a job. : )

Why do u seek to surrond urself with like-minded indivuals? Anything you would say would be preaching to a choir. And u say there are a lot of objectionists in California and New York? Only because there are a lot of people there...

good luck on your travels; i hope everything works out.

Personally, I would avoid Manhattan (unless you already have connections there) and instead look at housing in the outer boroughs, most notably the Bronx which is where I grew up.

I hope my donation today helps in your effort. Have a safe trip and as always, thank you for putting your body of knowledge out there on the web...truly priceless, especially the "Suffering and Growth" and "Capitalism" series.

Eh, sounded a little pessemistic in my last message.

Good luck in NY, Cropper!

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

God, your school will not survive in the City. They are so attatched to the wretched NY Board of Ed system there, and a school like yours may not get passed regulations and ignorant parents.

You are confident I must say.

One question: why Manhattan? IMO you should look into neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens too.

[p0rq]

Or you can BURN them in the cold, cold winter months.

:P

Move to long island city in queens, it's a 15 minute trip to Manhattan on the N train and a safe quiet neighborhood. You can rent a room for cheap and save up for your school or whatever. Starting up a school might be hard. I can't image how you are going to do this. I can't even wrap my mind around something like that. Maybe you could earn some cash as a high school tutor or something. If you are really good at a specific subject you can really make some serious cash.

I was a faithful History channel watcher until I learned enough history to know better, and now you and a few professors are my recourse when I'm too burned out to read, and just want to relax before going to bed or something.

[LePetitChatVert]

Your pronunciation of things can be awful at times (re: "phalanx"), but I'm a language snob, so that's my hang-up, and I've gotten past it. Otherwise, I like the fact that you draw from multiple sources; relate to your skepticism and incredulousness, as you would call it; am impressed by the broad knowledge betrayed by your asides; and find myself often chuckling at your delivery.

[LePetitChatVert]

I've gone so far as to watch the videos you've made pertaining to the Academy and find my heart going out to you in your efforts to elevate the kids of your town above their conditions. As a skeptic and a cynic, and something of a misanthrope, I reserve my opinion on why you'd want to try, especially in THIS place (I live in Salt Lake), but I respect your noble ambitions.
