Well it's just a matter of where we allocate funds. We've got an insanely bloated military budget for the endless wars we get involved with and if even a tiny % of that was redistributed towards education, it would be pretty easy to do. We've got tons of magic beans, we just use a lot of them for whack shit.
We could probably put 90% of the classes on line . Let the government have the best of the best design a site where people can take on line classes for a small fee.
Bricks and mortar are dead, why should college be any different just so we can pay ridiculous amounts to professors so they can remain in their delusion that they are Gods gift to humanity? Find the best, put it on line and lets stop the insanity. They've made many of these colleges little more than glorified country clubs putting more money into student centers and dorms rather than advanced labs and decent teachers with real world experience. The government shouldn't be giving them a blank check to further abuse the system. The fake pandemic was good for something, it proved motivated, self disciplined people can learn on line with few exceptions. We have to design a modern, efficient system. Imagine being able to take classes when you have the time, we could even have a two tiered system for an advanced and regular version of the same class.
Would this work for every course of study? No. But it sure would work for most at a tremendous savings. Only a dishonest or biased person believes paying 40k per year for someone to learn French history is a good investment. Adapt and innovatate, the old ways only benefit the Ivory Tower lackies
Very true. The lockdowns and shift to online classes have exposed how unnecessarry so many in person classes really were. Hoping it will be a big wake up call.
Free public education K-3-12 has failed why would anyone want the government to take over the few colleges and universities that actually turn out successful graduates? We
Did you experience a Good Will Hunting moment or something?
I'm just getting so tired of the "College should be free for everyone" BS
If it didn't personally cost you anything to make college free, would you support it?
If wishes were horses, everyone would ride. Magic beans to make college free don't exist so I'm gonna go with... No.

I'm talking purely about tuition, not curriculum.
