you're right. That's what parents should do. The problem is the other side is whining about those who go to school on the gov't tit(grants/low-interest loans). It should be easier to go to school for people who don't have the money to pay for it and need assistance. But they look down on the guy who only went because his brain was so awesome he got a full academic scholarship.. or the guy who had to work thru school to pay what his pell grant and loan didn't pay.. and then say stupid things like "Borrow money from your parents for college, not the gov't"..because they want to reduce pell grants and get the gov't out of the student loan business..
It's 'voting against your best interest' in the extreme..
If that attitude wins out in the end...the attitude that says higher education is only available for those that can afford it...we're so fucked. We'll be the guys answering calls with someone from Romania making jokes about how hard we are to understand..."Fuck'in 'Mericans, speak Romania, CHRIST!"
