Without education, what kind of jobs will be available to young Americans?

[Katzndogz]

FREE HIGHER education would be an amazingly good stimulus policy.

It would put some people to work and it would take many people off the unemployment rolls, too.

In the longer run we'd have a more educated productive workforce, too.

But that makes too much sense.

It will never happen.

It would do no such thing. Free higher education would have no more of an effect than free primary education. The existence of buildings, the number of filled seats, have nothing to do with education. We would have the same illiterate dolts in college as we have in high school making the same demands for social promotion.

Free? Oh, the teachers don't get paid? Textbook publishers give them away for nothing?

TANSTAAFL.

No contest

If you go by population this is not as significant. But let us forget about that.

Yes, you are right, America has many great colleges, exceptional centers of knowledge and education. Unfortunately, they do not reflect the educational system in general, or even American colleges in general. The American system of education is what is lacking, not Harvard or Yale.

Yet another example of changing the goalposts and posting crap opinion without backing it up with anything. I have noted that both you and Nycarb have made multiple claims in this thread but at over 30 pages there has not been one single actual piece of evidence, fact or even logical argument to back your opinions. All you have posted is your word on this subject and expect it to be taken as fact.

News flash - your word is meaningless here. Post something that actually has some fact or evidence for your wild ass claims.

Experience as a teacher in a discussion of education is not evidence?

Higher education in Ireland is basically free.

Wrong.

There is no tuition, at the moment, basically just administration fees and books. Why do you think that this is wrong?

 

[Unkotare]

It's not free. Nothing is.

Who's paying the professors?

 

[NoNukes]

Fair enough. There is no tuition then.

 

[NoNukes]

Wrong.

There is no tuition, at the moment, basically just administration fees and books. Why do you think that this is wrong?

Who's paying the professors?

The school, through the government, by taxation.

The government.

Not really. They are just handling the money. Who is really paying?

Yes, I just got on here to amend this. By the school, through the government, by taxation. If the money that I pay my taxes with is earned from the school, is it the school that is paying me?

You do not sleep much, do you?

Take a deep breath and try again.

Come on...you can do it...where do taxes come from? (no, not the magical money fairy)...take your time...think carefully...

Then it's not free, is it? Someone's paying for it.

Damn, just exactly how dumb are you?

 

[Wumplestiltskin]

Yep.

Man. You aren't right in the head

 

[Katzndogz]

People know that higher education isn't free. As long as they aren't paying for it it's free. That's all they care about. Someone else should pay.
