[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine the average middle class student had many more opportunities than the average lower income student. I am okay with this policy. Not everything can be exactly equal and fair. [/quote]

I have to disagree, college it the main opportunity in life and being held down with student loan debt is a real drag on one's life. There isn't a difference in opportunities between let's say a newly graduated computer science major from lower or middle class. The employer won't give more money to the one in more debt.

I mean opportunities in even getting to college. Middle class kids definitely have an advantage. I am okay giving a lower income kid an advantage every now and then. [/quote]

If they lower income person already made it into college they are on the same playing field. It is before the college they should be given assistance. Once they are in college there is no difference.[/quote]

Except that Middle class children tend to have more family support [i]even in college[/i].  It doesn't just end when they graduate from HS.  Middle Class students tend to have more summer opportunities for jobs that will help them when they graduate.  THey have more positive role models to mentor them.  [/quote]

The only jobs that the middle class students did were crappy like waiting tables etc... to pay for college. Those jobs don't have them when they graduate.[/quote]
