On Wednesday, July 29, 2015, my classmate posted an article "Let us make school more affordable." On this post, it talks about that Texas should reduce the cost of their colleges and universities since this state allow equal opportunity for all individuals to continue their education. I agree with my colleague's arguments because Texas' economy is doing very well, but higher level education is not as good as many other states.  According to The Dallas Morning News, "Texas earns C-minus, ranks 39th in nation on education ranking."  Also, Texas has a large percent of population are from immigrants. So by reducing the university tuition, it will greatly help many individuals to achieve their life goals.

In this post, my colleague also mentioned that “In Oregon, they passed a bill which they offer tuition-free schools." This will help the students can attend schools without stressing burdens. But to make sure there won't be too many people take advantage of this, my colleague states that," There are individuals who will attend school and come to find it is not something he or she may want pursue. A certain school tax should be given to them." My colleague also brings out the fact that many students have to get loans because they couldn't afford school supplies. They would end up paying interests. I have a friend who has to drop school for some semesters just to make enough money for paying bills. He couldn't get financial aid because his parents make salaries. But they don't pay for his school. Also America is a developed country, but the average university tuition is much higher than many developing countries. So I think we should make school more affordable.
