To me this sounds like a different teaching style, but still a valid one.
When people are working for a living, no one “teaches” us anything. However, we still need to learn. Sometimes we have to “learn” stuff that no one understands in advance. Problems come up. Sometimes a group of knowledgeable people have to get together and talk about it and think about it for a while even to figure out what the problem is, never mind the solution. Then we have to go off and hope that someone comes up with a workable solution.
“I’m paying a lot of money to be taught”
I think that you are paying a lot of money to be in an environment where you can learn. That is not quite the same thing.
I do not think that we have complete information, but I am not sure that there is anything wrong here at all.
