Well, some of us would not be comfortable going to a medical doctor with a degree from a correspondence school.
Or a lawyer who knew law by reading all the required texts from Harvard Law but who never actually went there.

You do know why it’s called the “practice of medicine” of course. They’re still practicing...
As for your last example, how well do you think we did with the current “most famous” graduate of Harvard Law School? You know, the guy in the Oval Office who obviously missed Marbury vs. Madison?
Tongue in cheek joking aside, there is nothing to prove a person with a correspondence degree spent any less time studying than the guy with the fancy sheepskin. Nor that the guy with the fancy sheepskin knows any more about his subject. Your comfort may be less than mine, but then I’ve got a degree in teaching from what passes as a highly recommend school here in Oklahoma. Having spent quite a lot of my time as a student (over 300 semester hours of college alone) I know that there were many things a teacher needs to know that were either not addressed at all, or just barely glossed over in my undergrad degree, and the masters program I half completed before my academic career crashed and burned.
I’ve also worked with some very good mechanics of one sort and another that had NO formal education.
