ProPublica is a leftist outfit.
But they have done a good deed here exposing this.
All grants from government should be abolished.
The student loan opportunities should all be private.
What the hell were they expecting? I’ve told others to do stuff that’s somewhat similar, but perfectly legal.
It would seem if they gave up custody, they could not claim them as a dependent with the IRS. True or false?
Go to Harvard’s website and look up tuition... It is totally based on income. How is that permitted? And if it’s ok, why shouldn’t that be done for buying a house or a car?
The whole thing is a scam. The Federal Government, which is broke, provides Pell grants, low interest, likely to default loans, and various forms of aid so that students have funds to get an “education” at hugely overpriced private and public universities. Of course the funds assure that a politically loyal group of teachers, administrators and staff too byzantine to define, have high pay and superb benefits.Why is it surprising in modern day decadent and hedonistic America that there are parents who would disown and disavow their children to get free stuff?. One day there will be a reckoning when the ultimate default comes. When it happens the reaper won’t be wearing a cap and gown.
Maybe they did the responsible thing, realizing they were not very good parents and the kids ended up with a much needed education/s
Why is my tax dollars going for someone else’s college education? I paid for mine. We paid for our kids’. You want to go to college, then get a private scholarship and a job. I’ve been hollering this needs to be ended. Of course, no one listens to me.
Everything about college admissions is a scam.
It's not uncommon for high school grads to take some time off to establish their independence and eligibility for financial aid.
As "scams" go, it's not the worst.
It seems more like a rational response to colleges' efforts to take their parents' life savings for tuition.
