Heck, so all poor people should be excluded from education because they or their families might not be able to pay?

Here's the rub. I know students in HE that leave uni with a phenomenal amount of debt, and I mean scary. These kids might have done an undergrad, masters and a doctorate and end up with such a scary amount owning I have no idea how they sleep at night. They can't afford homes, they have to travel to work and the pay in academia is not as good as many assume and by the time you've got to institutions such as museums it's laughable.

We should not have to pay for our children's education, end of. Most of you old white men had free education anyway, so show some sympathy and respect.
