I can understand why education should be paid for by its "users". In many ways, education is a privilege, and those who want the privilege should have to pay for it. On the other hand, if we don't work together in this country, there's no way we will make any progress as a nation. If people had to pay for their own education, obviously only the rich ones would go to school. Let's say we all had enough money to pay for school, there would also be families who had more money and could get a better education.
Once again, I can't help but recognize that these events didn't take place that long ago. Somehow, in our childhood history classes, we were about history, but our teachers failed to mention the fact that we were history. Maybe you need to be a little older to realize it. But this is the first year of my life that the historical timeline of the US is really becoming clear to me. I don't know. It's scary to think that how the world is right now, isn't going to be the world it is in 10 years. But it's also scary to think about it staying this way forever.
