Twitter Thread: Experience at Lambda School for UX

Honestly, as someone totally on the outside who is somewhat curious about LS and what they might be doing right or wrong, I think your pervasive and demeaning/mocking responses do a better job of negating your points than substantiating them.

I can see you’re obviously beyond frustrated and angry. I think it’s helpful to a point to “air dirty laundry” but when it appears to be someone out for retribution it really ceases to become appropriate for HN.

As someone who has been observing the Lambda School news on Twitter for the better part of a year, I just want to state that this student has every right to be angry and frustrated. It might not be appropriate in tone to someone on the outside, but for anyone who has been watching closely, it's clear that Lambda is acted unfettered and knowingly exploiting students.

Not only that, but they are apparently pushing students to join their coding programs prior to completion of prework/entrance tests: https://twitter.com/CHERdotdev/status/1231661150619652096

For-profit education like bootcamps deserve to be scrutinized and regulated. There are real consequences to poor educational outcomes.
