Students Battle Police in UK! Prince Charles and Camilla Attacked!

But there may have been a point. The fact that these students attacked the car has little to do with the fact that they didn't know who was actually in the car before they started attacking it.

 

I wasn't aware of that. Does add a hue of absurdity to the matter.

 

It really does, if people are angry about fees then they should not pay them. If everybody stopped funding the universities, the government would have to budge.

 

You can't expect that sort of self-sacrificing solidarity from people.

that's what the powers that be have been counting on all this time to their immortial gain.

 

You are right, it's a very unlikely thing to happen

 

What happens when the person the business sponsored decides they want to work for a different company?

 

I'm not German, ask them- they are doing it.

 

I thought asking the person who suggested the german way was better would get me the answer as I don't see how someone could (or would) suggest it's better without knowing about it...

 

I just know of what they are doing, but as a British student I don't pay for my education in Germany and it was just a suggestive possibility.

I hope you have nothing to add to this discussion, because the fact that you are Canadian would mean you have nothing useful to offer in light of British student loans, either.

 

I see, because to participate in a conversation around facts, can only be done by those involved.

Well here you go...

Whatever reason you choose to suggest a system you don't understand is better then anything, is beyond me... But hey, whatever...

However, a system that puts a student in debt to a specific employer, which is what you suggested they do, is not a good thing unless they have a system in place to transfer those costs to any company a person chooses to work for.

Otherwise, it is blatant slavery. The students are bought and paid for by the corporations that pay for their education.

 

Okay Tom. Well I guess you need to talk to someone in the German parliament, maybe you should write a stern letter of disapproval.

And anyways, it may not be specific employers. I never said that, I think it's just businesses putting money towards the education process for the choice they get after it.

But if you disagree, write a letter.

 

but anyways, getting back to the topic, I do feel they should perhaps consider alternative options.

 

First off... why would you try to hide what you just said in a thread?

I wasn't trying to start something with you here... I asked you a question about your statement.

However, from your responses, I realize that expecting you to actually have reasons for your statement was just silly.

 

Look, there is nothing wrong with anything that I have or will say, what is it going to take for you to just leave me alone? I enjoy coming to this website and this is honestly just bullying now.

 

In the U.S. trucking companies and hospitals foot tuition and then the students agree, by contract, to work for X number of years for the sponsor.
It is sort of economic slavery but most all jobs are.
Just my two pennies worth.

 

I asked you a question about the statement you made.

 

The answer, is this:

- The German economy is the strongest in Europe
- They have a strong education system. I am not pulling facts to support this, I learn and work with finance you will just have to make do with that.
- Businesses do contribute towards tuition fees
- I never said it was specific, but again, i'm not German

It seems to have worked for them, they have a great economy. You tell me that it's a horrible solution, but I fail to see how you would know any better without facts or any evidence to support it (by your own admission).

The policy will see the basic fee cap rise from £3,290 to £6,000 and universities in England able to charge £9,000 in "exceptional" circumstances.

The increase is due to the government shifting more of the financial burden on to the student rather than the state (as it once was).
Too many people going to uni' and not enough money for them to pay for it. I think.
The countries that give free tuitions are shifting money from other areas to win votes, imho.

 

evidence please.

 

Yep... it's working great apparently.
