Lol at the troll line.

Re: education being a choice though. .. nawh not really. A lot of people don't have that as a choice.

Re: memorizing a lot of stuff... I'd pick a medical doctor with a photograhic memory 10000 times out of 10000 over an unaccredited self-declared child prodegy genius. I think you'd find that so would everyone else. Why? Because that doc is accredited.

Same goes for like 95% of all technical trades too.

Everyone has education as a choice. Take a bus to the library. Steal wifi from your neighbors.
and it's easy enough to get financial aid grants and/or loans, especially when you're as ghetto as the sample group we're implying for education being inaccessible

Being a medical doctor is just that - memorization. You go to school for like a thousand years so you can "practice medicine" on people. It doesn't mean you're NOT a complete idiot.

all of this is covered in Goodwill Hunting

Student loans need to be axed entirely.

States and localities should vastly increase education budgets.

Loans do little more than drive up the cost of education because supply and demand is out of whack. Whereas proper funding keeps it in check and makes it far less of a hardship for everyone.

Tuition costs have gone up 2-3x over the course of the Obama administration.

I'm sure

So moving back to reality teachers dont get paid @#(! so nobody wants to be one and that contributes to worse schools.

Cali... has a history of not liking to pay taxes and asking for really expensive things... as a result education suffers.

Its probably one of the dumbest things ever.

Take a bus to the library if you have any libraries, if you don't you apparently don't register on my worldview and I'm an expert at ignoring truths that don't match my ideology. Steal wifi from your neighbors if you have internet in your country/region/village. If you're a poor kid who scrapes out an existence living on a landfill, $#@! you, it's your fault that you're poor and you should go and magically obtain an education from somewhere, or learn to be intelligent or something because all this 14 hours working to buy enough food to get you through the day is your own fault you *#$@.

Essentially Masta, if your philosophy had any basis in reality the western world would be overrun with Somali/Bangladeshi/insert mind blowingly poor country here geniuses. Doesn't seem to be happening does it? In fact the opposite is true, China has only really become a significant economic world power since establishing a well educated middle class.

They're middle class because they cant get out of the factories to spend the money they're making
