Today I did the bonus activity for the fifth day of the third week, for it I had to say whether or not I think that students should pay tuition fees.
I think that students shouldn't pay the fees because it's wrong to force someone to pay for their education, I also think that there shouldn't be fees because when they get older and find a job won't their taxes pay off the same amount over time?
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought that having an education means that someone would then be able to get a job and contribute to the economy by paying taxes... That's hopefully true - that getting a good education leads to getting paid work.
However, I wonder why you don't think students should help to cover the cost of their education. I've been a teacher in Canada and I found that students tended to work harder at college and university if they were paying for the opportunity to learn. It seems that we value what we have to work for. So, although I don't want to see tuition fees so high that students end up with big debts at the end of their schooling, I do think it's probably helpful and appropriate that students pay some of the costs.
I wonder what you think about that...
I hope you're having a great summer break!!!

Hello Alex
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing this summer learning journey activity. I kind of agree with you - I think that students should pay for their education but not as much as they are paying at the moment. Keep up the good work.
