Final Rough Draft

What if you saw an old student of yours and they were homeless, you might wonder, “what

happened to them” maybe it involved, not having enough money to get into college. What if he

or she had a dream to become a doctor a lawyer and they worked so hard in you class to get an A

but failed what’s going to happen to them. They are not going to get an opportunity because their

parents could not afford it.what if those people don’t have a full education neither will the next

generation. People need to move further until they have full education and experience of a

student, without they might not make it in life. I agree that college should be free for everyone. A

lot of people can't pay for college, but no one wants to be on the streets, no one wants their child

to fail, most people can get a loan but in the end can't pay it back.

Right now in America, wages are not increasing, but the cost of college has increased. College

should be free and I am hoping to argue why it is because there are many people who don’t have

much money to go to college and it’s to expensive for them, but there. (Bernie Sanders) free

public education would be paid by the rich people ( Sanders). “Education should be a right not a

privilege. We need a revolution in the way that the United States funds higher education.”

( Bernie Sanders). Occurring to Bernie Sanders he talk about colleges loan and it’ colleges

should be free or less when he was running for president in june 26, 2017. While wages aren’t

rising much, that could explain why the number of loan defaults. Americans families are finding
difficult to afford college. Sanders talk about the college for all act which aims to make colleges

and universities tuition free for families that earn $125,000 per or less.

Some students, parents, and educators say that it is morally wrong for a child to spend

their entire life going to public school for free and having them to just turn around and pay for

college. The students, parents, and educators all would agree that the cost of obtaining a college

degree should indeed be free. Those who are against this issue believe that the students

themselves or their parents who are financially able should pay for some or all of the expense of

attending college. College should be free because in our society education is key to success. The

money should not be the only thing we worry about when it comes to college. It would make our

society better by having fewer crimes and more people would want to go to college. I really

agree with parents and the student about college should be free because there is some parents

who can’t afford for their kids to go college. This was a article where parents argue how they

feel about college should be free.

I will talk about why free college is so important. Most parents wants the their kid to get

a good education so when they graduate from college, they can have a good job and a nice house

and so they can afford to pay their own house bills. The second reason is no one should end up

on the streets. That's why we have a lot of homeless people on the streets because they probably

don't have a good job or not a job at all to buy food, a home and clothing or basically anything.

My final reason is because some people can't afford college for their kid. Maybe even their own

parents couldn't afford college for them, that's probably why they can't afford college now

because if you don't go to college. There is some parents who can't afford college, sometimes

they borrow money.

 I think there is a good way between in terms of how much college should cost. It's

probably too much to ask for 100% free college tuition, but I believe we could undoubtedly

make college much more affordable for those in lower-income households because everyone

deserves to get a higher education, no matter their background. The most people are going to

college because they are trying to make money and that is very true, but sometimes you also

have to spend money and invest on yourself to make more money. I also argue that students who

pay for college are more motivated because I know if the government was paying for my classes

I would tend to skip a lot more than I should be doing. However I do not think that college

should be so expensive. I research in found how some people and myself feel about college

tuitions and money.

Some people think college should not be free because the tuition goes into the building

of new courses and actual buildings and courses are being added. Students who pay for their

college for themselves are more invested and hard working. Many students have low GPA or

low grades to finish school, but they always want to still attended at school. As a students with a

good education and a hard working to get university degree are learning much harder in high

school students. There are many students that who can work to pay for their education by not

asking for loan or for help. I believe that when you have a good job and keeping working that

you can able to pay college for yourself. Some students need to work to get money so pay for

education. Student who have a good need pay for their college. There are some reasons why

students should pay for colleges if they have a good job. I kinda agree on this paragraph but free

college or less paying money is more helpful for our kids.

Allen Hardiman argues that college should not be free unless you earn it. Hardiman says,

“Furthermore, free college proposal would hurt the job market as well.” Hardiman discuss that a
lot of students will apply for jobs.As a result, college students will have lower wages. . For some

part I agree with what Hardiman are saying, but why college should not be free because if they

give free education the government of the colleges or schools won’t be able to help the country

or the college or scholls stuff because they have to pay the college for the teacher or professor.

They can use the money to fix something when it’s broke at school or colleges. The government

should pay for all the colleges because than more students can go to college and good education

and better jobs. Barack Obama said, “Higher education should not be a luxury. It is a necessity,

an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.”

I think college should be free, free college tuition, such as helping those people who can’t

afford college, helping students to focus on their education rather than worrying about whether

they can afford their education next academic year, and to make the young generations in

America more educated. However, free college can raise taxes substantially and be detrimental

to the health of the U.S. labor market in the long run. Instead of making colleges free,

educational institutions need to polish their system in order to make going to college more

affordable. I disagree that college should not be free because we have many students and parents

that who can’t afford college money it’s too excessive for them to go college. I personally

believe that college should be free because in our society education is key to success. That

should not be the only thing we should worry about when it comes to college I think that it

would make our society better by having fewer crimes and more people would want to go to

college.
