... from kindergarten through university should must be fully funded and fully free. We own each generation a chance at the best, most useful and most appropriate education.

This should continue to the students' desired levels or the limit of the students' abilities. Too many fine minds have been wasted by limiting their education due to financial, cultural or social reasons.

In a similar but opposite case, too many undeserving people have received degrees simply because of money, social standing or family ties.

Now, if someone desires to go to a private school of any type and are able to go they may go but they should also pay the fees or be given full scholarships by the institutes.

I've been a teacher for over 45 years and I've always been on the side of the students as much as is possible. It is their lives and futures.
