hohohohoho. That's actually what happens since years at my school. We are reputed to be best of the country for illustration. So you try to get there, like 2000 other faggots every year, they take the 80 best of them, a few of which will go to illustration, realize then that 90% of the teachers could learn a lot from listening to their students.

so the virtuous circle is:

-the school has the best reputation
-the best artfags from the whole country try to get in there by all means
-these people then spend 5 years together, discussing, exchanging ideas, making projects, debating, working, etc. together
-they become recognized professionals
-the school has the best reputation.

the problem is that the teachers are perfectly useless to this process. They don't have anything to tell you that you won't learn in some shit-tier school, it's just the people at the

don't believe me? this guy is a teacher because his brother or something is at a city council or some shit. okay, he's an extreme example, and is ostracized by both students and teachers, but keep in mind we are supposed to be the best in the country (which is France, btw.)
