We are talking about Grants. Grants do not have to be paid back.
Perhaps if you went to college you would know the difference between a "grant" and a "loan." Just sayin.

Nothing wrong with the "average person" having their education paid for by the government so long as they have the grades to justify it. But the days of slackers getting a free pass are over. If you don't measure up, sorry about your luck. You should have tried harder.
The rest of the world is whipping America's ass now. That should be enough to tell you that the current educational system isn't working. So drastically change it or keep putting your heads in the sand while you chant, "we're #1!" Doesn't matter to me either way. My kids won't be going to American schools.
