Blog Tuition

The high cost of tuition must be mitigated. With estimates of trillions  of dollars in debt and no way to pay them off, we are saddling our children with  unnecessary debt and thus forcing them to get second and in some cases third jobs to pay off the loans. Teachers therefore are not able to devote the time and energy to their students and families.

Tuition 7/7/2024

Teachers they are sacrificing their talents just to provide food and housing. What causes the high cost of tuition? Many experts have different opinions, however we do know that Universities need to find ways to pay less attention to sports and more to the needs of their student body. Legislators need to legislate corrective measures and spend less time bickering. Furthermore the high cost of tuition is causing a drop in college enrollment and thus choking off the  number of qualified future teachers. Time magazine has posted an article How the Student Debt Complex Is Crushing the Next Generation of Americans outlining the effects of the tuition crisis in America. I therefore recommend that the government provide free access to any university or college for anyone seeking a degree in education! They of course must agree to teach in a public school for a set period of time.
