One might think continuing education is a generally good thing, no matter what the admissions policy. Our company pays for continuing education in our fields for employees. Even though such courses in design and management are "open to anyone willing to shell out the necessary fees," our employees come out better trained and more capable; the proof is the return my employers are willing to pay. So if another employer regards such training as valueless only because there's no competitive admission, I'd submit they are the bigger fools. At the very least, this is an odd bit of cynicism from a candidate for a board of education. Last I heard, there was no competitive admission there, either.
