i think this is a good idea ! does anyone else?
What if the government, who is in the business of education anyway were to start subsidising education on a grade point basis. Lets say you get an a++ (4.3 gpa i think its been a while) you would not pay a dime for your education. then if you got lets say a 4.1 then you would pay 5% for evey grade point you drop untill you get to a b- where the subsidies would end. Wouldn't that be such a major boost for the economy to have all our kids studying harder in school for the free education. ? you may ask whats in it for the government? well they could impose conditions. such as a minimum contract to work for the government in your field. like doctors and nurses could be required to sign up for the first two years in remote underserviced locations. the government wins the rural communities win and the students win the most. The rich will be eligible but they can waive it if they prefer their own connections to government work. what do you think? it only discriminates against the stupid everyone pays back their loan as they normally would with a discount for achievement. the perfect students get a free ride. as it should be. it rewards the studiers and not the slackers. it cuts accross all racial and ethnic lines to be as fair as anyone could make it

- im confused
- 4.0 is a perfect GPA. a good idea, but you know some minority group somewhere will say it discriminates against them.
- I absolutely agree with you. It sounds great. It encourages merit based rewards. The only problem that some people express with that is the problem that the rich is able to hire tutors and private lessons (usually that's associated with rich white folks) and the poor (and not so brilliant) minority cannot afford additional private lessons. So, the poor has to try extra hard to get to that level, unless he or she is a gifted person. So, again the rich has more means to get that additional help that will set her above the rest. This way, the rich or the middle class can only get the free education, as it is nearly impossible for a poor person to get perfect grades with a low socio-economic status.
