Should we charge people to go to high schools ?
That's not the question. Let's take some more of your logic. Since High Schools are essential to young people, what are your thoughts on food? That's pretty essential, too. Should food be free as well? It'll certainly keep you alive longer than a diploma would.
Honestly, I don't think a high school diploma is absolutely necessary for life. There are plenty of people who are able to provide for themselves without one. The other thing to consider with "diplomas for everyone" is the fact that once everyone gets one they become absolutely worthless. At that point, it does no one absolutely no good at all.
That sums you up... You don't know how important an educated workforce is to an economy...
It is shown in your treatment of the President... Obama is an intelligent well educated man that is under no question.
You just continue how ignorant you are...
They EARNED those scholarships and grants by keeping their grades up dumass. Now, say it with me shitforbrains - EARN. Now, let's use it in a sentence: responsible people EARN what they they want in life; not expecting free handouts just for existing.Bullshit. The primary reason people drop out is they lose the motivation to see it through. Both my daughters made it through on scholarships and grants by keeping their grades up.Yes. You should adopt my example.
Why would you assume that he hasn't?
You never did answer the question posed...do you know what the primary reason given by those dropping out of college?
To be perfectly frank Scarlet, I don't give a damn what the primary reason is. It matters not in the least. The fact is 1/3 drop out which means that 1/3 of the taxpayers' money will be wasted.
Well, thanks for falling right in to that one, Nancy.
The primary reason that people drop out of college is the cost.
Nope. You are talking out of your ass.
And....thank the benefactors who helped pay for your daughters to attend college. That would be those who care about the future of this nation.
Really? What "history" are they studying? What "literature" are the reading?Why stop at no help for college students? Why not get rid of public education all together and let all those kids who can't afford to pay for it go without any education?
How soon will that make America better?
Elementary and high school are a necessity to function in our society once you become an adult. College is not. Plenty of people never attended college and do quite fine just working a job or their own business.
Times have change . That's Bernie's argument .
Basically , a high school ed is the equivalent of jr. High head in today's world. Like educational inflation .
That's because schools are more worried about social issues than learning. I'm not sure why we give 12 years of mediocre schooling and follow it up with four more years of mediocre schooling. Why not improve the K -12 model and go from there?
They are? That's funny...I've got two teenagers in Public High School and their mounds of homework is never on "social issues". Lots of math, history and English though.
The conservative war on the poor rolls on.
And another brainless liberal who doesn't know what to say falls back on some fabricated class war nonsense. Too predictable.
How does depriving the poor of educational opportunity make their lives better?
There are thousands of employers looking for workers with not just a college education but a tradeShould we charge people to go to high schools ?

Once everyone gets a FREE PHD from the government then Obama is no longer that educated. I know that an education is kind of worthless if their isn't an employer who thinks it is worth something. It is people like you who detest the capitalist system, does everything in their power to destroy it, and then benefits from it at that same time. It seems kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
You either want a society where all kids get an opportunity for a basic education or you don't. That's all this amounts to.
College is "basic education" now?

Good god...what a horrible view of our world
If you can't afford a decent standard of living....your problem loser
In the richest country in the world
If that's what you believe, then why should government pay for anyone to go to college? Isn't it "their problem?"
It is something that benefits society....you might even say it helps the General Welfare

Given the value of an education beyond K - 12 nowadays for economic opportunity in the US today I'd say yes definitely.
I include post HS vocational/trade education in that, btw.

The average person gives a rats ass about society when choosing a carreer. Think about that for a moment. In fact, I can't think of anyone who gets a job in order to benefit society. They do it for themselves and nothing else.

I guess we should roll back our hero worship of our military people then.

Do you actually think that the unemployment rate for people with doctorial degrees will be as low as 1.9% once everyone gets a free PHD? Think about that for a minute.
