OK...Here's the question...Are parents responsible for payin for school?
 

college I mean specifically


I've had this debate/discussion with a number of people

I personally say yes parents are responsible for paying for school because a child can't possibly save up enough to pay for it themselves. From birth to 17 (when most graduate from highschool) when exactly are they supposed to ear enough money to pay for school?

College to me is another expense parents should be responsible for...

kids shouldn't have to work


parents who didn't make provisions for their kids to go to school failed them


wuts ur opinion on this?

Uh...well were im from you gotta go to school...your parents dont have to pay...

And as for college...well..erm..thats the same...but if you 17 the you can get a part time job and still study....as for university..then yes...yoy should pay for your self...once your 18 its your responsibility...

but like i said..any public tuition before the age of 18 is basically free...but you have to get the right grades for college of course...

Oh and i guess you have to pay if you want private tuition...but i guess no one would do that unless your parents were willing to anyway...

^^^well...my issue is this...what if the college u wanna attend costs 30,000 a year...

u graduate from high school at 17...exactly when do u have time to earn enough to pay for that>?

and a part time job?

iono man

i aint feelin dat


I think it's the parents responsibility from b irth to ensure the child is taken care of, including college


a high school graduate has no opportunity to earn that much money from working age (14) to graduation...and taking out loans to pay for a 120,000 school is unbelievable


it's possible...Im not saying a person CAN'T work...I'm just saying parents should be the ones to foot that bill

Money dont grow on trees and it aint the parents responsibility its part theres and part yours

im paying for my own schooling right now and dont look for hand outs.....

So if you work and save enough money you can get into a college.......

Not all colleges are expensive

it's not all the parents responsibilty to pay for schooling. you should at least chip in as much as you can toward your own future :thumbup:.

i think that the kids should pay as much as they can, but ultimately i feel that the parents are responsible

Well i think thats an excuse and people expect too much.....

I got good grades enough to earn a partial scholarship for myself....

My parents didnt do it for me , i did it on my own....

i make almost 40 grand a year working for a phone company in dedham mass..... and i take classes in the evenming and i pay for it myself,.,....

if you kill sombody whose fault is it yours or your parents
you get cought selling drugs whose fault is it yours or your parents
Parents have enough to worry about including putting the fucking clothes on your bac k and feeding you..They also provide shelter and various other shit they do for us...... in my eyes we owe them not the other way around

the university i plan to go to is the most expensive in canada but has been ranked the best in canada for the last 12 years....it is 15000 a year including housing and shit...it's Acadia University, BTW....i hate how the price of post-secondary education is continuously rising....

that's happening because you need it to get good jobs*...and they know muhfuckas will pay for it no matter the price...cuz they have to.........the relationship between the price for university and the demand for university is an inelastic one........sorry for the economics lesson...it's what i do:thumbup:


*and yes i DO realize that you can get some good jobs without a university education...i'm merely speaking of the majority of the employment opportunities for people without a university education are lower quality than those of the ones offered to those who do have that education

i agree with that. i think the time when we owe them, is when you find you're feet. start getting a decent amount of money coming into you're household.

also, i feel that it depends on the family...if your parents had to pay for their own education, they shouldnt have to pay for yours....but if your grandparents paid for ur parents to go to school, then your parents should pay for you...basically, i'm sayin you shouldnt have to pay for your own university and your kids...one or the other.....or not, meh...my parents are paying for mine....at least they better be...*cocks gun*

my mother is throwing down over 50 grand a year for my college .... she promised me she would pay for my college. so i took her up on it...so yea parents should pay for college.. there is no way i could afford a tab like that.

my mom paid for her college her med school grad school....and had her internship at harvard.... she is gonna pay for my college because she dosent want me to have any debt when i'm done with college

Your lucky then

but if you dont even pay for a little then how are you suppose to grow as a man

getting everything handed out to you......
