[quote=Anonymous]Fascinating how the regions hardest hit by this demographic change are the regions where people are most likely to believe that the best students go to the “best” (i.e., most expensive) colleges. Almost as if a generation of debt-laden college students were told not to have children they couldn’t afford, and didn’t. Whereas in California, Texas, Florida, and the states that surround and connect them, a bright student from any background can get an excellent and affordable education at a state school. It’s almost as if expensive, status-driven, privatized education imposes a significant if slow-moving economic drag on a region. And affordable public education is the key to long-term economic growth.[/quote]
