Resonding to " A Vision of Students Today "

                                      “I am one of the lucky ones”


In todays school life, most of the students that go into collage are expected to pay for themselves. To find work and balance it with school. A school is expected to provide a learning environment as best as they can, but to do that a university or a collage has to stay up to speed with the latest technology and research, and that requires the school to pay a lot of money, and in our world the more money you pay the better results you get. From there the schools will charge their students for huge amounts to compensate what they have payed and a bit more to get revenue for themselves. This causes two major problems, student debt and greedy people on top of these institutions.

“I am one of the lucky ones”, because my parents are paying for my school, and they don’t want or expect me to pay them back, but others are not so fortunate. When a student leaves high school with no experience that allows him to get a good paying job, and they were not of the ones that got scholar ships, then they have to take loans from banks, which by itself is hassle and a problem because of high interest rates that will cumulate over the years. Then you have in class requirements like books or software that a student must buy, and honestly most of the times the students will only use about 20% of the book or software and then never use it again in their lives. That will not only cause a student money loss, but also depression and anger, and that will affect the learning process, not to mention that knowing how much debt one will be in is very stressful, and all that will result in a not very healthy college life, and then after a student graduates they will be in debt until they die. So why would anyone go through that process ?
Then if you want to try and solve this problem, they have to go through the school officials and release a bill to lower the tuition fees, yet what you will find are people that want money and only money. And when people like that are on the top there is no hope of changing the system, since most of them were once students, and have debts that they cant dream to pay, unless they suck that money out of others.

So truly the only way to end this cycle is to start changing bit by bit, so that the next generation of office holders don’t have these debts to worry about, and they can focus more on advancing the system to get better results.
