Sorry if I confused anyone. Of course public school isn’t actually “free”, I meant we, as students, usually aren’t paying for it. Private school isn’t free, either, but usually children hear about private school tuitions before state taxes. @IxnayBob
I didn’t waste anything, actually. I retained an A grade point average throughout high school. I work as well, & will continue work while attending a great university. I know all about high taxes, which I pay, even though I attended one of the worst high schools in the state. (My computers labs WERE donated, by the way!)
But, many affluent high school students aren’t focused on their parents taxes, as they would be in college. I was stating that hopefully, the rising tuitions would motivate students to apply themselves! @sylvan8798
