So I just breezed through the Private Pilot course and got my certificate and moved on. I believe I learned alot more in doing so.
Nope. More of the smaller schools recognize that you have flight time, and are willing to do stuff about it. Quite a few of them would probably allow you to just go part 61, and finish up the private, then move into the 141/142 environment.
The Riddle flight department finds any and every way to separate a student from their money. There are many other places that you can learn to fly way, way cheaper, in just as nice as equipment. And you can have fun doing it too!
