I don't know if a school can really make it happen for someone, it is true that many graduates of well known schools become successful both professionally and artistically but just as many do so without ever even attending a school.

Most of the legendary photographers of the early part of the last century had no schools to attend.

I actually think there is a danger in hampering the creativity of a student by attending a school when you have a teacher who has the talent to influence their students in a very strong and personal way then the student might become caught up in the teachers persona and not ever find their own way.

I think the best part of school is not the instruction which teaches you little but the exchange of ideas with your colleagues, the other students.

Though some people do even better on their own.
