gollark: In the UK they just cancelled GCSEs and are awarding grades based on... something.
gollark: Many American systems are weirdly broken in exciting ways.
gollark: But it's the ability to pay more money *specifically* for colleges, via loans and stuff.
gollark: The problem is that if people's ability to pay increasingly high prices is increased a lot, then the ability of colleges to charge high prices is also increased.
gollark: I think that if the price does go massively higher, people will just talk about how important it is and how everyone needs an education and stuff, and it'll be subsidized somehow and/or you'll just have to take out giant loans, instead of just not doing college.
