Should university be free?
Maiko Prae Shalini Lindsey Paul Eoin
Eoin______
Yes, I definitely think college or university should be free. When Iwent to university in the U.K., the government paid for all of the fees, for anyacademic course that people wanted to study at that time.
__________
I don't think college education should be free because studentsmight not put as much effort that they are doing now because they know it'sfree and they can do it anytime they want.
__________
I think people should have to pay for their education becauseotherwise there's a lot of people who'll just go to school and then they'll go touniversity and just study, and I think it takes away the importance of a university education, so if people have to pay more then I think it makes themmore motivated, and yeah, it makes qualifications, a degree, more important.
__________
I think college education should be free if people want to study,they should be given the opportunity to learn regardless of how much moneythey have, so I think it would be a good system if studentscan apply andregister without paying the fees.
__________
I think college should be free for those that deserve it. In other words, based on merit, if a child has worked really hard and shown that theyhave high goals and that they want to do well and use college to succeed, thenI think that college should be free, but I don't think it should be free for thosewho haven't shown in high school that they care about school or that they careabout learning.
__________
Definitely. Definitely, I think it should be free. I think for one,depending on where you live, we all pay enough taxes that I think this is aprivilege that would be enjoyed and I also think if it were tobe free, studentswould really think hard about what they want to do, and let's say, they couldn'tfigure it out at an early age, they could join at any point in time and it wouldn'tbe a stress and everyone would have that freedom to be whatever they want,so yeah.
