Just charge for education


The cost of college Is waaay too expensive, And for the under priveleged It's very offensive. If they would just charge for education Instead of the building's artistic design, More people could afford to go to school As well as afford to dine. There are students in college That can't afford to eat, Because they're forced to decide Between tuition and meat. Oodles of noodle is not a real meal But for some students to get by, This is just the deal. It is true that some colleges have a meal plan to buy, But if tuition is $10,000 a year I just don't understand why. You have to pay extra for a meal and a book, When 40 years from now You'll still be on the hook. For tuition loans with so much interest You'll never pay back, Because the school needs to attract new students With a giant gold monument that will eventually crack. The huge statutes and waterfalls that makes campuses so attractive Drives tuition up so high, It discourages the students that once were proactive. So stop all the extras and just charge for the education And you'll see a much larger number, In the college graduations.
