Quoted from albummydavis:I can stand people talking about free education.
Ever live in a country where the government pays for college? It’s not so wonderful, unless you are chosen to attend. The govt pays, so the govt decides who gets an education. Best case scenario, it is truly merit based and, by the time you’re 13 your test results putnyou on a college track. God forbid you screw up your life as a teenager—there’s not so many second chances. Going back to school as an adult is a rarity. Worst case scenario-the govt starts deciding to fund students based on quotas and demographics, not merit. Or you’re told what your aptitude is or what the governments needs are, and what they will pay you to study.
No thanks
Wow, not sure what your source or country of reference is but that’s not at all how it typically works. And yes, I grew up in a country that offers free education and none of the things you mention are even close to my experience on how it works!
