Again, I made no qualitative statement about whether the system is good or bad. I merely pointed out that there are costs.

You are arguing that the costs are worth it. Great. I don't want to have that conversation online again. You have acknowledged that there are costs. We are in agreement.

I understand, but I don't think anyone would deny that, there are costs everywhere. The more useful discussion is to understand the balance of costs and benefits, but I accept that you're tired of having the same conversation over and over again.

Did you see the quote from the parent to my original comment?

I'll pull it out again: "you don't have to pay this back, and also there is no tuition"

That's all I'm responding to.
