Muskegon Heights starting teachers would earn $21,000 under latest plan

7. This should close down the universities and colleges really quickly.

Here is the fee schedule for Kansas State University. I assume that is where a lot of Kansas' teachers are educated.

The tuition and fees not counting living costs for 12 hours are about $8,000. I assume that is per semester.

That's 24 hours per year or about $16,000 per year times 4 totals $64,000 just for tuition to become a teacher.

A dorm room including meals costs about $3,500 per semester which is $7,000 per year and $28,000 for four years.

So that totals a minimum of $92,000 not including transportation, clothing, etc.

That's a hefty bundle of student loans to pay back on $21,000 per year.

My question: is a college education and the related loans perhaps the best chastity belt for Kansas kids?

They won't be able to afford to have children until they are well into their 50s. Should solve the over-population problem.
