Originally posted by scooterscot View PostI'm thinking obtuse. Education is a birth right, not something to be profited from. We're a sad species indeed if we deliberately withhold others from reaching their potential.
The choice should be up to the individual. I'm not angling for full on Montessori. However I'm fairly certain higher education would be fee free were admission levels half of what they are now.
You still haven't explained why you think only uni should be free and not any other higher education. Sounds very elitist.Comment

You're always very good at definitively stating what other people think or feel without having any way to actually know these details. Of course, you also always seem to directly know the affected people and have first or second-hand experience of any issues.Last edited by Ticktock; 15 September 2015, 09:49.Comment

For someone who did not go to University I am appalled at the advantages that are continually bestowed upon people just because they are intelligent. What about us thickos? We get sent to sh*t schools, taught by sh*t teachers and sent to work to pay taxes just to keep the "entitled" so called "intelligensia".

Why should you and your posh mates get to go to uni for free, but tradies and community colleges have to pay?Comment
