Extend High school by 2 years, so students can earn a free associates degree. That ALL will have an equal opportunity for a better job and a better education. Without being in debt.

The only thing this would do is make associates degrees worthless. Maybe we should get rid of degrees and replace them with certifications based on real world experience beginning in highschool.

I agree with this in a way but differ on what it should look like in practice. I think, generic high school education should end at 16. From there a student stays in “high school” but chooses between a college track or technical track. If you choose the technical track then you would graduate high school with a technical degree at 18. If you choose college prep, you get a high school diploma but no degree. But I think college could reasonably go down to 3 years if you have a college prep high school diploma.

Love the idea and would encourage even more options for students who are passionate and prepared to do more, age notwithstanding. While we are at it, let’s make all education free through the use of all of the nefarious tax dollars that are owed to the People. Get our Governance working for us again! Thank you!

Making high school free in the past only ended in requirements for an additional decade in education.
Our founding fathers finished their time at University by 18.
Further free education will only devalue the current verification of educational systems.
