6. Actually much of our secondary educational system is top notch

Dec 8

It offers advanced ap courses and many students excel through its systems.

Sure, there are foreign students in universities, especially at the graduate levels, but those perfect sat's are the product of our very own educational system.

Is it universal? Hell no. Poorer systems suck. There is a definate scale correlated to community wealth.

But by and large even the elite schools could fill their roles with domestically educated butts.

But make no mistake, education is a business. Even though they consider themselves non-profit, there is a lot of wealth and power involved. Tuition fuels that. There is no reason for government to fuel it as it now stands.

Maybe if we could somehow force free tuition as a tax on universities for a portion of the student body it might mean something, but they would somehow make it worse overall.
