People who go to college now pay to go there and if they fail a class they just wasted a lot of money. If the government paid for everyone’s education then no one would think they would have to work hard and they would think they would have to work hard and they would end up failing once they moved in to there career. The only people that deserve to go to college for free are people that earn a scholarship or those who apply for financial aide. These programs are there for the people that have the desire to go to college. Most people that think a higher education should be free are not very wealth but there are programs like financial aide to help them if they have the desire to get a higher education.
Some teens have personal reasons that are sometimes urgent, and staying in school isn't an option. Although there are many understanding reasons not to raise the age, many economists have found that over the last 20 years, higher drop out ages do matter. It didn't only improve graduation rates, but entrance to colleges and career outcomes. If the students have to stay in school longer, they have more options such
Military Denied Access to Teens Some schools believe that the military should not target teens in high school because they are too young and that they should try to go to college first. They say the military life is not well suited for young teens still in high school or fresh out of school. “Recruiters are targeting certain teens” (Ayers 87.8). The schools that military recruiters do have full access to teens are “offering higher bonuses and shortened tours of duty,” just so the teen can think about the military. (Ayers 87.8) Wealthy Kids Don’t Enlist The reason wealthy kids do not enlist is that they can afford to go to college and not have to worry about the military paying for it.
So, how could someone pay for it? Scholarships are becoming increasingly harder to receive because more people require them to get into the school of their choice. I know personally that I will not be able to go to my preferred school if I do not get a decent scholarship. College tuition is simply too high; colleges must reduce or freeze their tuition to make an education at their school accessible to all. People that come up with these prices for tuition are not thinking about the accessibility they need to have to prospective students.
Why should they pay for the decisions that their parents took among them? If that was the case of the American belief system, every American child being born in American ground but with immigrant parents would not be able to get American citizenship, but to the contrary, this country is enriched with the many groups of people that constitutes the American population. The California Dream Act, a bill that promises to open state financial aid to students who meet AB 540 qualifications, has been vetoed by Governor Schwarzenegger two years in a row. "While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized for the acts of their parents, this bill would penalize students here legally by reducing the financial aid they rely on to allow them to go to college and pursue their dreams." - Governor Schwarzenegger.
To solve this market failure, government intervention seems to be the only feasible solution so far. The government can either subsidize or ban unpaid internships. However, subsidy is not reasonable because based on cost-benefit analysis. It costs the government too much to solve this market failure. On the other hand, banning unpaid internship opportunities is not effective because if business could not afford to provide internships, young graduates cannot gain experiences and provide positive externalities to the society.
To get that scholarship, and not be that rich kid that the parents just put down money for them to go to college. The rich kids don't want to actually do well their parents want them to just because they have the money to do it. That poor kid that maybe they didn't grow up right and just need a chance to do well, they might have messed around in school and think they could do better now, wont have money for them to go and change how they were thought of. Everyone just wants you to think you can do or be anything you want. The world is just not like this not everyone has the same chance your family or your ethnic group or your finances have a lot to do with on your limits in life.
As a result, employers have suggested that “higher education institutions have to raise student achievement” as well as help them develop the skills they need in order to succeed. (Kathleen Parker) Higher education is facing more critique than at any other point in recent history. According to “Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses” by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, many undergraduates, during their four years of college are not learning the critical thinking, complex reasoning and written communication skills that are considered as the core of the college education. Thus, critics of The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) agree that the core curriculum is out-of-date and accuse ACTA of being “conservative”. In order to stay competitive and to thrive in the current higher education landscape, it is critical that college and university leaders prioritize, focus, and evolve their operations and
Bird illustrates college as if it were some sort of prison for young adults. Going to college is at best, as she describes it, “a young folk’s home that keeps them out of the mainstream economic life for a few more years.” I don’t believe this holds much truth. If that was the case, most students wouldn’t get part time jobs to actually pay for their classes. Sure there are some students that are still financially supported by their parents but wouldn’t they know if their time and money is actually worth spending on a college education? Bird also seems to blame parents for “forcing” students to go to college.
