Do you realize how "free college" works in other nations? Not everyone gets to go. In places like Germany you're put on a track when you're like middle school age and if you're not on the university track you do not get to attend college. IF we're going to start using tax dollars to full fund public higher ed then not everyone gets the chance to go like they do now. Maybe this is a better way of doing it but I can guarantee you a lot of people will not like the outcome of mostly minorities (minus Asians) being axed from ever getting the opportunity to attend college.
If tax dollars are to be used then you HAVE to use them appropriately and giving out free education to a lot people that'll just fail and waste it is not a good solution.
- cma 3y agoIt is close to that in the US. In middle school you are put on an advanced/honors track and without it you won't get AP or other advanced classes in high-school. You can make all A's and won't be anywhere near the top of your class because A's in those advanced class are usually set up to count for more on your GPA.
- DrThunder 3y agoIt's not. You might not get into Ivy League school but ANYONE can take out a loan and get into a state university of a public university. Hell, a lot of colleges don't even require SAT or ACT anymore. Where are you getting the idea that you need to have good grades to attend college in the US?
