Reply #21: Somewhat of an empty proposition

It doesn't really explain how you want to set this system up.


We need a cultural educational revolution to get people thinking and teaching their children. Once we value education, inquiry, and discover like we value consumption, fame, and greed then it won't matter as long as it is affordable. The people who wish to pursue education further will. There is no price tag on education, and a "free education" isn't a guarantee for better results. American K-12 has been shown to be not holding up to many other countries at standardized tests in K-12.

I believe we should better fund the current free K-12 and have more government education grants to universities and students. With many more need based grants, to where anyone who can meet the admissions standards can get a university education. We need to tweak the system not overhaul it.

"A well educated populace - you can't put a price tag on that."
You can't put a price tag on it because it is not something you can just buy. It is something that must be formed culturally, nourished, and money helps.
