It is a Good Solution. No, it is Not

Adele: Free College education is a good solution for the morass that is America’s educational system.

Rick: No, it is not. Do you realize Britain just switched, not too many years ago, from free College education to a tuition model for College education, and they say it is working better?

Adele: You dare compare the Great American Dream to that small Island Nation?

Rick: You are aware, Adele, that the country you refer to as ‘that small Island Nation’ was’ several hundred years ago, America’s colonial master?

Adele: Whatever!!! Just because they currently spend less than us per student, meaning we will spend even much more once we switch to free College education, does not imply they are right.

In presence of demand for new policy directions, and disagreements as to best paths forward, absent benchmarks that facilitate discussions, no one is right, and no one is wrong, all ideas merely are different.

In absence of scientifically established benchmarks, all possible ideas are nothing but opinions, are nothing but politics.

With respect to

America’s educational system,
