"There is no Yelp for education" says IAVA chief. Well, HN, is there?

Full clip: relevant part starts at 8:10.<p>http://video.msnbc.msn.com/the-rachel-maddow-show/48603715#48603715<p>IAVA = Iraq and Afganistan Veterans for America<p>As a veteran and an entrepreneur this struck a cord with me and thought I'd share it. Seems like a ripe market. I'm not sure if there is, in fact, a 'Yelp' for education if there is they should reach out to veterans.

RateMyProfessors is the first thing that comes to mind.<p>Unfortunately, I don't think a 1-to-1 Yelp model for education would work, as RateMyProf would seem to show. A good restaurant is easy to determine: the food is good or it isn't. Universities and students, unfortunately, aren't that simple. Students usually give good reviews to easy teachers, which multiplied across the system, results in lowered standards for everyone.
