Answer 1

At the University level the answer is, yes. They are achieving the financial targets for now. I would expect this to change a little soon as the competition becomes more intense to attract new students.
Most of the ventures at the K-12 levels still require large sponsorships to break even.
Most of the explanation for this difference is that it is very expensive to educate students at all levels but people are willing to pay more at the upper levels because they see a more immediate return on their investments. This is especially true for on-line schools.

Answer 2

I'm sorry to say, as a retired elem teacher, I think the public school systems are just like the large corporations, it is who can look the best rather than who teaches the best so I am totally against teacher merit pay because the kiss butts who don't teach much usually get all the kudos. I would like to tsee the public school system taken over by a private business and one that wants kids to learn, right now it has become a babysitting service .

Answer 3

Very, very true. In India these are run by politicians - current and sidelined -, Evangelists, Churches and other religions who have a Guru, named Shylock. The elite call these instituions using an adjective 'BLADE'. It cuts and hurts.
