[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 5114117, member: 37461"] If EVERYONE gets a FREE education, what does that do the the value of said education? Who will do the trade jobs, and the labor that no one wants to do? Supply and demand says that degree is valueless if everybody has one." Did I misunderstand your post? Public school for many families is free because their income levels, property values, where taxes that pay for school, is to low or non-existent and is paid for by those with income and property values that are taxed to fund these schools. You can complain about the funding but don't besmirch the hard work of those educators in those schools to provide a valuable education. By the way; what people value can change as an economy changes. Saying that if someone isn't able to "market' an education right away is like saying knowledge is worthless unless it rings the cash register. Nothing could be more ignorant of education and the value of knowledge than that kind of definition and summation. BOOM! [/QUOTE]
