Logan win an alien fortune to finance the school. There are quite a few rich X-men too.

That phase of the Ultimate universe had some really... interesting themes. Cap America as president of a fractured, un-united states. The X-Kid's utopia out in the radioactive desert being raided by the feds/corporations. It was like a think tank for the wars of the future. I applaud them for such creativity, even if it was creepy.
Pretty sure the temperature is whatever Storm says it is. She could probably even set up a perpetual field for something low key like a garden, that would persist even when away on a mission. Let alone just have Forge make a power grid to store her own homegrown, organic electricity she just conjures up out of the æther.
She was shown to have a floating garden in the pre-Secret Wars Jean Grey School, but that would have been a new collection. She gave her old plants away to the New York Botanical Gardens wayyy back in the 80's, but I'm sure she's restocked a few times since.

Well, Bishop is a detective worked with the NYPD for a bit if that counts.
I fail to understand the insistence of traditional education at Xavier's. I mean, hello, you can telepathically upload any and all info into these kids brains you want. Why burden them with term paper and atrocious uniforms from a century or two ago? I liked the early Millar Ultimate X-Men's "Tomorrow People" approach(and Morrison's), where it was like, screw these antiquated flatscans, let's show them the mutant way of getting things done! Much more creative use of the 'school' concept.

LOL....what did she do? And how was he qualified? Most X-men have no formal education or license to teach. They just talk about what their powers give them specialization in
so they dont breed a generation of lazy kids with no real concept of working hard. By your logic, they shouldnt even bother training and should just go the route of the Deadly Genesis team with Xavier telepathically uploading fake combat skills into their mind, which ultimately got them killed. As mentioned her or elsewhere recently, not every mutant is destined to be an X-man. An education helps set them up for life outside of the institute

Uoloading knowledge isn't the same as understanding and learning.
In the Emma Frost comic about her teen years, you get to see her piggybacking on the studying done by other people at the library, she had to stay at the library at the same time other people were reading and studying in order to truly learn and understand, and it was different from just taking data from other people's minds.
Please. Xavier was a college graduate in multiple degrees by the age of 16 using his powers to siphon knowledge around him. Ultimate Jean Grey performed life-saving surgery on Hank by telepathically piggy backing on the world's most cutting edge surgeons. The X-Men get various languages uploaded into their brains on the regular. Reading books and writing papers is antiquated for the next evolution of humanity.
