Education should be free. We shouldn’t have two teir education for rich and poor. Many trust fund kids do not have the grades for Ivy leage but they get the degree anyway. Many working class kids miss the cut, that should never happen.
Many European nations have free or very cheap world class higher education. Why is it Americans are billed, taxed and tuitions at every aspect of life. We’re being robbed. Oh wait. We’re paying for Europe’s defense while they give social and education services away. Got it.
Harvard just decided to provide completely free education to their students whose parents make under $100,000. Tuition, housing, food, textbooks. All of it.
Any students making under $200,000 a year will get free tuition.
Certification of what? The free college Trump is talking about here?
If so...🤷♀️.
I don't think it's even worth worrying about how it will be certified, because I sincerely doubt it will ever move beyond what you see in that clip above.
There are some things which I think should not be in the hands of private entities. Hospitals for one. Our municipal water, as well. Military manufacturing and research should be done by the government rather than by The five or so private contractors who are currently gouging us. There are some services that the state should provide and we easily have the money to do it if we weren't playing sugar Daddy for the rest of the world.
I surmise we'll only need hospitals for broken bones, surgery and physical means soon, and prob even that will go away with Ai tools/bots to perform them.
And yet communist Soviet Union had a world class education, and its successor state, which is not communist, STILL HAS WORLD CLASS EDUCATION. They have hypersonics. We don't.
Same with China by the way.
Meanwhile we 'graduate' realtors, lawyers, insurance agents and, most importantly, POLITICAL SCIENTISTS. The pillars of society. At 100k a year.
We have shit class education and we pay an arm and a leg for it. Same with 'health care'.
Why not take it one step further by financially incentivizing students, and parents for achieving a quality education, and/or trade skills, based on a merit system- better grades= better financial incentive's?
I'll be a minority for my opinion, I'm sure, but you get what you pay for, especially in education.
I don't want free education; I want quality education that springs from and is continually improved by a competitive market.
I want books not produced by the government, and I am willing to pay for those, too, because authors and publishing companies should not benefit from government contracts on curriculum, either.
Also, this isn't new. This is from 2023. I can't find anything more recent where he explains how any of this can be done legally, or when it might be put into place.
He alludes to settlements from legal cases against universities with endowment funds, so there is another layer missing from this description. It sounds like he is anticipating a lot of public-private institutional collaboration. If accreditation from such an Academy can compete with state universities and Ivy League schools and turn out a large supply of educated workers, that might be attractive to businesses that have a hard time finding the staff they need at salaries they can afford.
I mean, I'm not one to sneeze at a nice salary, but competition is generally a better environment. When I was contemplating going into engineering, $10,000 a year was considered really good money in 1968, when a nice new car cost $2,000.
I imagine there must be many mush-for-brains young communists who demanded free college from Biden (but didn't get it) and now will refuse the free college because it comes from Trump.
I’m glad you put the disclaimer in there. This is the jumpstart education needs. It has declined over the years. Think how much we’ve had to figure out and that goes back to the early 1900s. Now think of the kids who grew up with New Math and no child left behind bs. The potential for visible change is enormous and we’re seeing it—gas, eggs, illegals, dei, trans, pc words and stupid pronouns—all loosing their impact on our lives! We can breathe again.

100%
Many rural and urban kids bust their hump in school but can’t afford Ivy leage but are just as smart and good. Let them learn.

So, yay Harvard?

Too young to navigate the stars. Too old to enjoy these changes.
Harvard has an Epstein problem.
Well, pretty sure Epstein is dead now.
stop being a shill of which you are. Harvard is indoctrinated. They want it free for a certain income so they can indoctrinate.
This place is full of feds and idf.
How am I being a shill?
Bill gates, that you!? 😅
Damn. You caught me!
Their new DEI program.
The propaganda machine schools are losing their grip on the most gifted among us.
What about certification?

I don't think it's even worth worrying about how it will be certified, because I sincerely doubt it will ever move beyond what you see in that clip above.
Why?
Because we are not communists. What we are is debatable. But communist? Not yet. Once we are? Everything is shit.
If everyone gets world class education for free. And everyone gets world class ______ for free. It has to be paid for somehow.
If only unicorn assholes were ATMs.

NOTHING valuable is or should be free. Not healthcare, not educators. Other people's services are NOT owed to you.
In order for a modern society to function, that mindset you just posted needs to be tempered with a little bit of common sense and pragmatism.

Basically. Let’s get rid of the Dept of Ed and go back to what was before.

Sounds great, but how can he do that legally?
🤷♀️ Good question.

I'm the video he says it will come by suing universities with large endowments. Also see the comment in this thread by killerspacerobot.
Thanks, he's right on.
I don't think this is new. It sounds like one of those campaign videos he did. Not that this isn't a great idea!
I imagine there must be many mush-for-brains young communists who demanded free college from Biden (but didn't get it) and now will refuse the free college because it comes from Trump.
Sounds like someone that would cut off his nose to spite his face.😏
Hoorah.
Liberal Professors are gonna flip their rainbow haired skull caps!
This is fantastic!
Kind of like a dynamic upgrade to the library of Congress: knowledge, serving the people.
Trump: Let's disband the Department of Education, because the government is ruining student achievement.
Also Trump: Let's make a Government University, because everybody should get a college degree.
I am going to apply when the opportunity comes.

Sounds like the British Open University, that isn't free, but its cheap.
And should edify the American dream.

Hahaha, I believe the higher education fucktards are FINDING OUT. HAHAHAHAHA.
