The poor will always get their freebies, education included. But a small fee for education would still be the best bargain anyone will ever get. Around here people buy elementary students cell phones, designer clothes, and all the electronic garbage a kid could ever want. They have cable and HBO and take atleast one vacation a year. They keep up with the Joneses when it comes to houses and vehicles. Most eat out four or five nights a week.
But if you tried to charge them $100 a year per student, they'd scream bloody murder. I'm just saying it's time we pulled our weight and get our priorities in order.
