When I graduated High Schoolin 1960 there was no doubt in my mind that college wasn’t in my future.
My parents did not have money and they had taught me responsibility, that bills had to be paid and borrowing money wasn’t the way to make it in life.
10 days out of High School I was on my way to Ft, Knox for basic training.
Todays kids have been brought up by parents who think nothing of borrowing and live off credit, so they start right out borrowing $50,000 to $100,000 to continue their education.
Now that’s fine for them,but then they are saddled with the debt, and they cry about it. I have paid taxes my whole life, I got my kids through Community College, it was all I could afford, they worked while they attended.
Still paying taxes for schools for other people’s kids to get through High School, why should I have to pay to get them through college?Public school should be paid for, I don’t have a problem with that, but those who elect to go to college need to pay for it themselves.
Because, Citizen, there are still students who graduate the K-12 system who are not knee-jerk liberal automatons, and they need the additional indoctrination!
(/sarc, sorta)
Besides, without a year or two of remedial courses, how can the gross failures of the secondary education system be covered up?
