Quote:I understand what you're saying but I think a better avenue then would be to end high school at 16. Then at 16 let those that wish to attend these publicly funded community colleges get their AA degree before 18 or those that wish go to a trade school and learn a trade by the age 18. But make no mistake there is no public funding without effecting the curriculum, what the state pays for the state controls that's just the reality of how the world works.

 

 

No one likes the current system, no one. However student loans are not forced on individuals, the repayment terms are more forgiving than any other loan anyone can ever take in their lifetime, 

What's so wrong with extending the age of which education is publicly funded? State funded causing problem with curriculum for reason we are very aware of? Don't have it funded through the state have it funded federally at the college level. I see no reason at all why curriculum would change at all. The colleges themselves do not need to change just where the funds for the students comes from.
