Very true. My friends and I started a website called The Free Academy, which you can check out at freeacad.com. It's purpose is to get rid of the formal lines of student and teacher. Everyone can be both within any given situation. And of course, it's about learning outside the state accreditation.
"About
The Free Academy is a group of students/teachers with the great privilege to study life and liberty outside the confines of State accreditation.
Membership is free and open to all and begins as soon as you start participating. The goal here is informal communal learning and personal growth. We strive to teach each other as we teach ourselves. Learn whatever you want and share whatever you find interesting. This site is our virtual playground. Register a username, ask questions or start discussions in the comments and when you’re ready, make your first post!"
The accreditation process reminds me a lot about the healthcare industry in the US and the limitations posed by the board to limit the number of doctors to keep the salary of those doctors already practicing artificially inflated.
