Alex: Hey Josh, who are you going to vote for tomorrow?
Josh: Hey Alex. I’m not sure yet. Probably Josh Martin. He said he’s going to make school tuition cheaper.
Alex: Really?
Josh: Yeah he wants to make going to public universities free, so I’ll probably vote for him. It would be great to go to school for free.
Alex: It would be great to school for free, but you have to think about what politicians promise practically. If school was free, where would the money to pay for the schools come from?
Josh: I don’t think he ever talked about where the money is

The government would have to spend 62.6 billion dollars annually in order to make public college tuition free. A recent movement to federally mandate college funding has struck the interest of the lower, impoverished members of society. However, if college tuition were free it would be unfair, unregulated, and cost-ineffective in the long run. What does free really mean? Does it include just tuition, or room, board and books? Also, would it be completely free? Someone has to pay something somewhere down the line. There is no way to make college completely free. It would be average tax payers that will end up paying. America is already 18 trillion dollars in debt. Just imagine how much more it would be if college was free. College should not be free because it effects the entire country, lowers the value of a college degree, and despite what some may think, does not make it more equal.
The idea of free education for an entire population of a country certainly raises questions. ”I owe it all to community college” by Tom Hanks an article in New York Times proposes the idea of free education. Chabot Tom’s alma mater produced graduates for only the effort and cost of used books. The main problem with free education will be the bill of providing it to the public. Free education would give veterans, single parents, and another generation an opportunity to further their education. Free education is terrible idea because taxpayers would be responsible for the expensive, the job market would be flooded, and free education schools would need proper location.
We have made K-12 education free because it is good for the individual and for society. The same is true for higher education. Proponents of free college education believe that it
I personally don't think that college should be free. Students who pay for their college are more motivated, hard working and independent. Many students would have poor motivation to finish school, because they can always come back. As a matter of fact students with ambitions to get university degree are learning much harder in high school than other, who thinks they don’t need an extra paper. There are many students that are so smart, and they will find the way to get money for school. With extra work and help from family students will be able to afford college tuitions. Students need to depend on themselves; otherwise every taxpayer will have to cover their education expenses. There are several reasons why
The night before the big day close friend Zack comes over to ask for a favor from Jessie and to put something up; he noticed that Jessie’s room was a mess and she was trying to take the pills. Jessie was not stable
I am sure to many of us here, free college sounds like a great idea right?
In the 2016 presidential campaign free college tuition was highly debated. President Obama briefly talked about it as well. Tuition is one of the most expensive pieces of obtaining a higher education. US citizens deserve higher education. The people of America are ready for a change. College tuition should be free, so that more Americans can attend higher education and make something of themselves.
Free schools are all ability schools which are funded by the government. Free schools aren’t run by the
One of the many problems with making college free is that college, in time, needs to be paid for by someone or something. With the government having the idea that college should be free, these same people wouldn’t be taking the hard payment; You would, through government taxes. As Alex Groves says in his article, “Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a free ride. Every program requires a source of funding, and free education is no different.” (para 5). Groves is a college student himself working on his last year
When I was a kid, about 5 to 8 years old, my hands would always get cold whenever the surrounding air is chilly. My dad would always tell me to rub them together, like you would in order to make fire. And so I did it. I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed. My fingers grind against each other from the tips of my little fingers to the base of my palm, but none of this worked. My hands still are cold, stone cold. Then my dad said after watching me rub for a whole 3
If college were to be made free more students all around the nation would try to get better grades so that they can get accepted into college and work on their dreams.Furthermore the government won't be wasting any money but it would be a lot more like an investment because those students who graduate from college, will eventually get jobs and start paying
If our schools would allow their education to be free, then it would create an even chance for high
Another issue that would arise with higher education being free would be that the job market could have a higher supply educated workers in some fields than their demand. If college is free to the public, then the money has to really come from
College Education should be free. Initially, my first reason will be about how it manages to help poor students get an education. Furthermore, my second reason will be about how more people would be able to venture onto college. To sum up, my last reason will be that students will have more freedom to choose a major they enjoy. Here is my information to prove this.
Education plays a huge role in today’s society. The only downfall about education is not being able to afford it. Education eats your bank account and costing people to lose thousands so they are able to do something they love or just get a degree. People always question one another asking why people do not go to college. Why are people not taking advantage of something that will pay well after it is completed? Most of the answers for that is that they cannot afford to pay for schooling or they have to work to provide for their family and school is not a number one priority right now. If education was tuition free students would only be able to focus on studying and passing college then looking for money to pay for their schooling and that would help them perform better at school if they do not have to worry about finding a way to pay for it. Education should be free because it would help lower the homeless population, dropout rates, and stop student debt after they graduate college.
