Over the last 10+ years my entire fortune has been made by directly countering this ignorance and other misconceptions associated with the connotations of accreditation. It's been brilliant! I am "set" for the rest of my life and as long as this naiveté is perpetuated, so will many others be.

Edit: changed perpetuates to is perpetuated

I am arguing against the blanket statement, "accredited or GTFO." I'm not saying that accreditation doesn't have it's place. However, doing a little research on what accreditation actually is, who does the accrediting, and what the outcome is, statistically, for accredited schools will swiftly prove my point. We don't just have failing schools, we have a failing institution that is, for the most part, accredited.
