It means a tax increase.
You're right, but if we did, we would have less folks like you.I agree with most of you. Free is not good when it comes to education , we need to do something to cut down on college costs and books. I am amazed when kids graduate from high school and have no idea what they want to be, its one thing to change majors, but another to not even have a clue to what they want to study.
We need better HS and grade schools.
A twofer would be to offer HS grads the opportunity to join the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Dept of Health and, of course the military, for 2-3 years then pay for community college/Vo-Tech. It would push them out into the world, let them think about what they want to do with their lives then provide the means for them to do so.I agree with most of you.

I think we need to teach kids what they need to get a job in H.S. even if it means adding 2 more years.I agree with most of you.

The key point about community college is living at home. If not, they can find roommates. I lived at home for my first two years of college (community) then got a college loan and lived on campus of a four year university.A twofer would be to offer HS grads the opportunity to join the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Dept of Health and, of course the military, for 2-3 years then pay for community college/Vo-Tech.

I agree, if they want a free two years let them do the above first. Then we get in the issue is how do they support themselves when they go to school for at least 12 credit hours, they need to work somewhere.
there is no such thing as "free" government services
Your title is total BS. I did my bachelor's in Reagan's CA at SDSU with a student fee of $160 per semester.
