No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.
I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them.
The cost of college should never discourage anyone from going after a valuable degree.
Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.
Unequal funding resources also results in unequal educational opportunity when you consider studies that show that one half of low income students who are qualified to attend college do not attend because they can't afford to.
If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.
By making college unaffordable and student loans unbearable, we risk deterring our best and brightest from pursuing higher education and securing a good-paying job.
In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education.
When someone has the desire to go to school and has the ability but can't get into our schools, that's wrong. Education drives the economy and the quality of life.
My only claim is that not all talented people should go to college and not all talented people should do the exact same thing.
