Financial Aid Unfair? psh, It's Absurd!

<p>

</p>

<p>Definitely.</p>

<p>We’re punishing the children of the middle class hard-working parents who find moderate success. The middle class can’t always afford to pay 100% for college. So, our middle class students who got great grades are now stuck with student loans to attend these schools just because they’re middle class. All the while, Johnny over there is poor so he gets a free ride to the same school, regardless of whether he got a low GPA or even tried hard in school or not…</p>

<p>Which makes us ask the question: is a free college education a human right? Is so, why? If not, why are we giving such financial aid to the poor but not middle class students? And, where is merit and performance of individual students considered and rewarded in all of this?</p>
