More colleges are looking at emergency housing solutions, including have students sleeping in alumni’s homes, napping pods, Airbnbs and even an assisted living facility.
yes. it’s a popular view among the wealthy in particular.
i’ve met many people who have told me i should never have been born because my parents weren’t rich and I had to pay for my college education with loans and scholarships. they argued that people like me are a ‘drain’ and that i ‘stole’ my position uni from a more deserving rich person. they don’t believe in class mobility, just class punishment.
When I was younger i took credit for intelligence and hard work getting a full scholarship to a good school. That’s part of it, but l realize I started in a good place
As I get older I believe everyone who wants to should have a free college education because we desperately need a more knowledgeable and capable society. And it better be ready by the time I’m ready to sit back
in my experience of higher ed, most people in it don’t want to be there. especially the students. they are only there by force of threat of being unemployable.
what educated intelligent hard working people don’t understand is most people aren’t like them. most people want to be dumb and lazy and find learning painful and miserable.
Sure, no one should be forced at that point. But if they want to, everyone should have the opportunity free. And you’re right there would need to be some sort of safeguard against idiots wasting our money.
But we all benefit from from a better educated population. It’s a crime that free public education has remained at high school level when civilization has gotten much more complex.
And part of this should be that college is not “job training”. Yes our society benefits from people learning how to think or better understand many things which are not directly connected to profitability
Only the wealthy should be allowed to procreate, huh?
