You can’t just make broad generalizations like this, though. Just because you write “EPC” in a little box doesn’t mean parents are going to write their kid a check for the amount. </p>
<p>That’s why I’m suggesting that we
- Treat 18-year-olds like the legal adults they are
- Reduce free money based on parental situations, which kids have absolutely nothing to do with
- Increase free money based on merit, which kids have everything to do with
- If kids get into a school that they can’t pay for fully using cash/merit scholarships (the usual case), force them to work part-time, take out loans, or choose a cheaper school.</p>
