Can’t wait to have my student loan debt forgiven. There shouldn’t be a price on knowledge.

Unfortunately, free college education in the US sounds like a joke because this seems impossible. I'll be extremely glad if it is the truth but I don't see any moves toward this. Students spend much money on buying essays on services, about which you can read on https://sky-writer.com/studymoose-review/

If it's truly free, then it won't be worth anything since everyone can have it. It would turn into a complete clusterfuck.

If it's not free but simply paid for by someone else, then it will be very restrictive. As it is, for example, in France where only a very few people are admitted to medical schools.

So the only way that it really works is that if it's made "free" then most can't have it.

We just need to get the professors to teach for the love of teaching and not for money.

Phony windbags like Liz Warren getting paid $400,000 to teach one fucking class; students taking on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and not having marketable skills...

Fucktards like Bolshevik Bernie want to forgive the debt but keep the professors on the gravy train.


Fuuuuuuck yooooooou!

What professors? It's all high cost CBTs.

You bet it should be free and the school should go unpaid also. We'll see just how much professors love teaching when their pay check is zippy.

Venezuela has nothing to do with this issue. I’m not going to pretend I know the ins and outs of their education system, but their economy isn’t broken because of it. Gross mismanagement, corruption within their oil sector and a planned economy, which we know is horseshit is why Venezuela is a shithole.

Free, yes, but only if you pass a rigorous entrance exam. Otherwise you are wasting your's and everyone else's time. Let everyone in, and you dumb down the whole system. Want to get into college? Work your ass off to learn how to read, think critically and analytically. Master the basics of mathematics, science, literature, history and so on. If you spent your high school career screwing around with video games, obsessing over your wardrobe, social life, hip-hop, wearing your pants down around your knees, and other nonsense don't expect that you are instantly going to change just by going to college. You are already on the loser track. If you have not figured this out, do us all a favor, forget college and go get a McJob. Enough of this bullshit.

Will they lower the standards for the people of color, or will free college automatically be given with reparations?

Standards are immutable. No lowering. As for reparations, more liberal bullshit. I am not paying a dime for someone else's sins, and besides, where dies it stop?

What would that help ? If everyone could get free college and get a masters would mean nothing more than a high school diploma means now. No employer would care

What you describe is the German system. University is for the top-15% of students, with a tranche below that going to technical schools. Lay a regime like this on the US, and the racial make-up of the college crowd would look like we were practicing segregation again - it would never fly. Of course, mentioning this is hard to do in a politically correct society, but it would be a significant problem.

By the way, the real problem with university in the United States is that our K-12 education system prepares far too few for true college work. Making college "free" would likely make that problem worse. Rigor and results matter.

Same in France and many other countries. See, these are the pesky little details that libs don't like to talk about. Or have even thought about. Just like health care you can't make something free on an unqualified basis and have everyone doing it. The costs don't work. The crush of people doesn't work.
Etc., etc. Which means that you need to start filtering people out. Which means that you then end up with an even more exclusive and restrictive system. Free college doesn't mean that everyone gets to go for free.

Isn't that the way the system works. We design an educational regime to make sure kids are informed and prepared for the world. We then create a certificate to verify that the kids have completed this educational regime. Employers recognize the value of having well informed and prepared workers, so they give preferences to holders of these certificates for hiring. Then people who haven't gotten the certificates start arguing that they should also be awarded the certificates so they can have the same employment opportunities, even though they haven't done the work to be informed and prepared. We lower the standards for the certificate. Employers start recognizing that the certificate no longer means people are informed and prepared, so they demand an additional layer of education. And the process repeats itself.

Friends, I need some help in conducting, collecting, and compiling statistics regarding the latest local elections in Canada. Who can help me with this? I found one Canadian resource that gladly agreed to help me https://ca.edubirdie.com/statistics-help. What do you think about this? Who used his services?

Greece had free college... Look how that turned out for them.

If everyone had a million dollars than it would no longer be a million dollars.

Same things applies to college. If everyone got a college degree, then job requirement would demand a masters or higher for most high paying positions.

Most high paying jobs do require a master's degree.
This whole idea of free college is a joke. Everything about democrats is a joke. They hate all Americans.

Greece was a failed state long before Socialists took power. Since it sought independence from the Ottoman Empire the cost of being Greece has exceeded the resources of the Greeks.

I wouldn't be averse to a Science-Driven Pay for Performance Model for Universal Higher Education.

You must be accepted into an accredited program based on scientific metrics in the areas of character, scholarship, leadership, physical aptitude, medical fitness, motivation, experience, skills, and potential.

You get a loan for that program only, and only in an amount commensurate with your scores.

You get reimbursed based on your grades and demonstrated measurable performance improvements in the areas of character, scholarship, leadership, physical aptitude, medical fitness, motivation, experience, skills, and potential.

Once you graduate from your program, your repayment is deducted automatically from your pay, based on your ability to pay, until it is fully repaid, and/or fully forgiven upon your death or deducted from your estate.
