[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you really feel that they are getting some kind of unfair advantage because they get more money for this one thing, while you have access to more money for... everything else.

What bugs me is the griping from people who's kids are exiting high school that seem to suddenly have the huge amount of outrage, and act like this is some kind of new explosive revelation. [/quote]
I think the issue here is that one family has earned the access to more money, while the other family was given it. That is a really poor comparison.

Then you follow by blaming these people that earned their money for their choices while seemingly ignoring that a low income recipient of free college money are also responsible for their choices and maybe should also deal with the outcomes.

A student is responsible for their parents' choices?  That's a new one.  A 17- or 18-year-old whose family is poor who gets into college seems to have made pretty good choices in my book.

And I don't see where the PP you're responding to blamed MC people for anything.  [/quote]
