The problem with that, of course, is that they won't be indentured slaves of the feral government when they graduate.
Can't have that.
It is not possible to work your way thru college, it is just too expensive. You either get loans or family help. Boot strapping yourself like I did is not possible when college costs + 50K.

Attending university is a major financial investment, and therefore needs to be approached accordingly - what is the pay-off if one gets degree “X” from University “0” at the cost of “Y”. If Junior wants a BS degree in Anti-Imperialist Studies, then the pay-off is a low wage job - then Junior needs to attend college that teaches this subject where it is essentially “free” to Junior.
One other commenter above said it correctly that it takes 12 years to get an 8th grade education today. Guess there is no way we’ll ever be able to squeeze in a mandatory course on basic financial literacy that one has to pass before they are allowed to go to college, or run for Congress.
