By free, I mean society as a whole should pay for it, because an educated society is in the best interest of society. People make personal decisions and actions, to populate the world. They should take personal financial responsibility for those decisions, instead of attempting to pawn it off on society. We home schooled our son at our expense. He we loaned him the money he needed to go to College that he did not make in his job he had during going to College Sorry, it's College, not party time. He has repayed that loan and has a great job, bought a house at 23, comes to the house for Lunch on Sunday, and the liberals can only shake their heads and claim how messed up our family is.... LOL ! And so it goes, PCSTEL

You're a socialist, and that doesn't help Obama. It doesn't even help America. Better schools have better professors, and they cost more. They have better facilities, and they cost more to have and maintain. You want diluted education. You want average professors. I want the best schools to get better. You want mediocrity. I want excellence. I don't want free education. Education doesn't cost anything if you know what you're doing. Like almost anything else one buys, it has utility greater than or equal to what you pay for it. If it's not worth what they are charging, ask them to charge you (or your children) less, as you would with any other purchase. I think education pays for itself while you're in school.
