It should be noted that most people educated in existing free government schools are not qualified for higher education.

True. I live in Norway. If Norway has not had free education then I probably have been poor and ofc uneducated. My parents have never handle money well and most of my childhood we lived very poorly. It’s better that the government handles the money for the education.

Your nuts!

I was very naive about America wasn't till this last decade I realized it was in fact a Rightwing country in its DNA with left of the center of right party representing 'left wing' politics

Which nations are those? How would they rank economically if they were a state in the US in income? What is their tax rate? How quickly do people get treated for medical conditions? Etc. not all that glimmers is gold.

We shouldn’t make higher ed free. We should make high school actually provide consistent excellence (while also correcting the student loan practices that increase the *price* of higher ed).

So what are your thoughts on the state of education then?

You always forget to mention the taxes in those countries ……

Those countries could thank us for their protection by paying for our schools and healthcare
