When stable companies experiment with new things, I'm all for it. But when a rapidly growing pre-IPO company does, I get concerned they've lost focus.

I don't really care that much if WeWork goes under; I do care if a bunch of kids get a sub-par "experimental" education that hurts them for life.

I agree. This would make an interesting after-school program. Not a full education.

Too late, we already do that at a national level now. Bill Gates did say "whoops" the other day, though.

Well, no sense throwing good money after bad, so to speak. We don't have to keep moving further in that direction.

I would be more concerned they have lost revenue growth. That's usually the reason why companies start branching out before they have an established business model.

I passed a WeWork space (on Market) this weekend with a friend, and I tried explaining what they do. But now I think next time someone asks that, I'll have to respond "I have no idea."
