Ask HN: Do you believe in a coding school without teachers?

I had a couple of friends recently asking me about alternatives to colleges without teachers to learn software engineering (Holberton [0] and 42 [1]). I first wasn't a big fan of the idea, but yesterday I stumbled upon an article [2] and it actually seems to give great results.

What do you think about these new two schools? Any students there on HN? Is there any other school like this in the US, not in the Bay Area?
