I agree with you. That's why my son is going to a state school. That's what I can afford, and honestly it's one of the best engineering schools around, and more or less right in our own backyard. He did get a partial scholarship, based on academic merit, but that was it.
I never meant that one should not pay for an education, I just get a bit put out because I know that my tax dollars are subsidising educations for wealthier parents who send their kids to expensive private schools. That just stings a bit.
Nobody owes me anything, I just don't owe anyone else an education either.
