Thread: Where does all the money in schools go to?

Our education system is terribly biased and backwards, this is revealed by the very fact that something like graduation exists in the first place.

I do think there should be going more funding into it. The American citizen should pay higher taxes into the educational system, depending on someone's wealth, so the tuition fee can go down a lot. That way people who don't have the financial capacities to go to the university will be able to do so.

You're missing the point that there is already more than enough money going in to it.
But it's obviously not actually going anywhere productive.

Although I do think all education should be paid for by taxes.

No there's not enough money pumped in by the government. By people, yes, but the system should be regulated by the government, otherwise we have the nefast consequences that we see now, basically schools turning into businesses asking a ridiculous amount of money. I think they should socialize education, just like Obama did with health care.

I mean, how can you be surprised that they're asking so much money if you're basically dealing with a business? If you're buying a product, like, for example a Lee Cooper jeans, the largest percentage of the price you're giving for it isn't about the fabric or the labor.. it's just going to the brand. Companies will always try to make as much money as they possibly can. Just basic economic principle.
