Education reform - higher education

Hi

Higher education is what makes the country run. We need the best quality education in order to maintain our freedoms. However, there is room for reform.

The cost of college education is skyrocketing. The primary thing to control is costs for tuition and board. Most students end up paying for tuition by parental savings,student loans and part time work. If a household has two siblings attending college at the same time most families cannot afford the cost of college, so we should address what is left -student loans.

Under our current system most colleges have advisers who help students get financial help. If help is not enough the next resort is student loans. The federal government backs up the loan, in effect, the taxpayers are cosigners. My opinion is that the federal government should get some thing in return. I refer you to my earlier posts concerning Compulsory Military Service. The approval of the government sponsored loan should be conditioned on a full term service in the military plan. Under my service plan a person gives one year time in the military in exchange for a guaranty of a student loan. I feel that this would be the first step in controlling college costs.

Please pray for our brave service people
GOD Bless
