President Barack Obama has suggested and promotes the idea of community collge being free for Two Years. The article “As he promotes it, Some questions Obama’s Free Community College Idea” by Joanne Jacobs, gets the views and discusses about the idea with students and politicians. I believe that it would be a good move to make the first two years of community college free, there is so much that will benefit out of this move. The whole country would benefit if the first two years of community college were free.…
Free education means paying more taxes for better education. Besides, education is one of the most important factors for the development of a country, so funding on education doesn’t mean waste; on the contrary, it is necessary to improve everyone’s lives. Free college doesn’t only mean that it will be beneficial for the students. It also means that it will stimulate the economy of our country and benefit our whole society. Keep the free college moving, and we will be creating a beautiful homeland right…
In Paul Pain’s article “Two Years of Free Community College” tells about President Obama’s proposal to make community college free for two years for students. This would provide a higher education to be more accessible to people who want to further their education. Pain quotes Obama, “To make sure that community college was accessible to everyone…free for everybody who’s willing to work for it” (Para 2). The plan was based upon Tennessee’s Promise, where ninety percent of its 60,000 graduates from high school from 2013 were signed up by the state for a new scholarship for community college (Pain para 7).…
Greetings, The Early Middle College program is a great program to help students earn college credit and an associate degree while in high school. The program at Ottawa Hills is starting off good, but there are a few concerns: 1) CLS 100 Instructor, 2) A Few Students, and 3) Lack of Access to Wifi.…
They may have a budget planned out for this plan, but where is the money coming from? Citizens of the United States’ taxes would become higher. Students have a better chance of graduating if they’re paying for it. For those reasons and many more, the United States should not have free community college. To begin with, several countries overseas have free tuition for their students, including Sweden and Germany.…
In the article “As he promotes it,Some question Obama’s Free Community College Idea” by Joanne Jacobs we learn about the pros and cons there is to having a community college free. In the article we learn about the good things in having a free community college as well as the negative parts of it. Although there is many opinions to both sides my opinion and the side I am choosing is that a community college should not be free. I believe a community college shouldn’t be free because it's unfair for those who attend a 4 year university and have to pay the double amount of what a community college is normally. In the article Michele Siqueiros says “The promise of free tuition cold make the problem worse by drawing more students to already crowded…
It starts by introducing the topic followed by a brief background information on free community college discussion. The paper gives a brief description on the reasons why some Americans think community college should be free. Their main reason is that it provides equality and more opportunities for students. It proceeds to issue writer’s opinion as to why community college should not be free with backup from credible references and statistics. Among the reasons explained in this paper are; dropout rates would increase, free community college would be unfair to the poor while the rich would benefit more besides being a burden to the taxpayers.…
Community College Should Stay the Same I don’t agree with Barack Obama’s idea of having free community college. There is many points that you will have to consider when you think of free community college, such as the professors not have the same wage that they are earning as if now. There will be students that might not take the education seriously, their mind will be that since it’s free it will not really affect him/her but as it won’t affect their budget it would affect the university that they'll be attending after community college. I also believe there is no point on making community college free because it is not expensive at all compared to universities but if you think that the tuition you are going to be getting is expensive there…
For the past six months one of the hottest topics in politics and around colleges throughout the U.S is whether community college should be free or not. Although there are many thoughts to this topic this literature review will focus primary on why many people are for free community college and while many are opposed to it. The questions surrounding if community college should be free or not is who is going to pay for it and if everyone attends college is college still an accomplishment. I personally believe that community college should not be free, not because I’m against higher education for everyone but because there is no such thing as free college. If community college was labeled as free are it means is that America would go further…
Revamping Community College In the article “Revamping Community Colleges to Improve Graduation Rates” it talks about ways that people of education are working to help improve the graduation rate. While I am all for more people going to college and getting degrees, I do not agree with the changes that the article suggests. One of the changes that they are trying to enforce is the idea of free college. In the article, it states that “Bills are pending to carry out President Obama’s America’s College Promise proposal to make community colleges free to responsible high school graduates.”…
Low-income seniors in high school find themselves in between choosing the school of their dreams but being in debt or going to community college where the cost will be much lower. In Joanne Jacobs article, “Should community college be free?” she states the pros and cons that making community colleges free would have on students and on the country. While many people might say that making community college free would enable for more students to go to college to earn a degree. If community college were to be free then, community colleges would only become overcrowded by students, and students would only be settling for less simply because it is free than to be aiming to attend their dream college.…
Following his address people voiced their opinions strongly on the matter from both sides. One article written by Joanne Jacobs for US News and World Report voices both sides of the matter with strong arguments on whether community college should be free for the first two years. Personally, community college shouldn’t be free as it incites far more issues miss-directs the much more important issue of…
Literature Review After the economic recession in 2008, life has only gained more and higher expenses. Studies have highly increased, while wages have increased but not an equitable value to meet a college students’ expenses. In the article, The Reality of Free Community College Tuition, by Fran Cubberley, she presents both pro and con arguments in why it would be beneficial for our current and ongoing high school graduates to receive a free two-year education. The arguments made are: As a pro, students could avoid such costs as well as reduce the likelihood of requesting a loan. As for a con, “the cost of educating and serving students, and senior management and the board of trustees will need to adopt creative financial strategies to maintain…
In the bright side though, we 'll have more educated people in the world. It is something that would benefit both the rich and the poor. College should be available to students free of charge due to the fact it will allow more students to attend without adding the…
So, if college tuition were free, it would eliminate economic problems and allow our country to become more competitive, economically and academically, which would enable America to develop in an efficient and successful…
