[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much whining. There are also cars that cost $400,000. If you don’t want to pay that, there are reliable options that are a fraction of that. Same with colleges.

Community colleges, GI Bill, colleges away from the coasts, graduate in 3 years etc. Out-of-state merit aid at large public universities in unglamorous states can be amazing even if kid isn’t brilliant. [/quote]

Your analogy is stupid. People do not need a luxury vehicle. Education is necessary. And when you have certain families cut out of the "luxury" market, while subsidizing others who will get to go to those institutions for free or low cost, that is the sign of a problem. It should not be this way for anyone. [/quote]

That’s capitalism.  What you’re asking for is a socialist program.  States are getting much better about subsidizing or paying for trade degrees that will qualify graduates for a career. But private schools can accept the top students regardless of their ability to pay.   No one is forced to go to these schools.

No college is taking a student because he is low income.  He’s accepted to the college based on his hard work and given aid to attend.  He has nothing to do with your child not being accepted or not being offered any scholarships.
