A good, free education is to the benefit of society.
You do not incur a debt for the 12 years of school you’re already mandated to receive, because that education makes society better. You become a better, more productive adult as a result of it.
But now we find that that education is not enough. Most people are not graduating high school with the necessary skills and knowledge to become that fully functioning adult. So, it is too society’s benefit to extend that education.
This should not be transactional. We the people provide the education, and we the people benefit.
