we used to have free uni here
and the c***s that got their degrees debt free are the ones trying to make it even more expensive

So, should 18 year olds in high school be paying out of pocket

why is age relevant to the question?

what about 18 yr olds still in hs?

i think what he wants to say is grade schooling is compulsory where as college isnt

let him use his big boy words

ill reword it. Most people enter 12th grade at 17 so thats why thats the last year of highschool. obviously some people start late etc so thats fine. I was generalizing before lmao yall so nitpicky.

I think we can also change the curiculm for high school so its better suited for the real world.

but why is age a barrier preventing accessible education?

there's no negative outcome of allowing education at any level to be accessible
educating includes trade schools, not just academia

Do well in high school the other stuff can be free.

I juat dont think tax money should go to paying for higher education. Also a lot of that stuff you can learn through the internet and books.

Me when I figure out how to push u to the radical left

ur maybe radical american left lmao. But im open to having my mind changed haha

Says who

its an arbitrary number established by society.

Yer goddamn right

for once

not really

animals enjoy the fruits of their labor. whatever food they forage or kill is theirs to have, it doesn’t go to their boss

you don't have to have bosses in capitalism...

ur example isnt even true for all animals female lions hunt and then the male lion gets first dibs

also people enjoy the fruits of their labor now... If i own a farm and you choose to work for me and your job is to pick the food and sell it you dont get to keep all the money from selling my food 💀💀

regardless, the whole thing about humanity is that we defy nature.

I was just having fun but in seriousness I reject the premise that nature should dictate anything we do lol. It’s nature not to wipe your ass too

I cant even imagine if we lived like nature lmao.

yeah appealing to nature is lame

it's cool that you dont think tax money should go towards paying for high education or whatever
but that doesnt address or negate the statement of "there's no negative outcome of allowing education at any level to be accessible"

also imagine rocking up to an interview and they read your cv and are like "it says here you dont have any actual qualifications but you read a lot of wikipedia" 💀
even if i ignore that, a lot of academic journals and resources are inaccessible unless you have some kind of institution log in

the unfortunate thing is ppl really dont understand the value of university education. its not the same thing as DIY learning lol
going to school isn't just about going to lecture and getting a grade. there are opportunities that really aren't available else where.

references, guidance, referrals from professors to meet with someone in the field, etc, access to resources and places in general

also sometimes difficult to find other intellectual people
