250 hours of education in 500 person classrooms? I get 1000+ hours of lectures in 10-20 person classrooms.

That's 250 hours per term (4 months).

I'm fairly certain you don't spend 1000+ hours in lectures out of the ~2880 hours in four months.

Oh, right I thought per year. I checked and I have about 300 hours of lectures per term, in 10-20 (say 20) person classes. This costs the government and me combined about €10000 per year. That's about

    300/180*500/20*24000/10000 = 100x

better value for money than what he's sketching in his blog post.
