Jill Stein has similar views as Bernie Sanders when it comes progressive action towards our education system. She is not a part of the Republican Party nor of the Democratic one. She’s part of the Green Party. When looking at her website she describes what she wants to do, which is to “Abolish student debt to free a generation of Americans from debt servitude. Guarantee tuition-free, world-class public education from pre-school through university. End high stakes testing and public school privatization.” (http://www.jill2016.com/plan). Even though I agree with some of the things she says, I don’t agree with all of it. I agree that yes, we should somehow work with college tuition to make it affordable, but not completely free. Here’s why; if we make it free, we make it available for all. If we make it available for all, the competition to get into a college will be really really high. Not only the competition will become extremely high, but how will we fund all that money for free tuition for all? Do you know what leads up to? Higher taxes all around. Her views on high stakes testing is another thing I don’t agree with. If we don’t have important tests to help with the admission process, then how can we evaluate and distinguish student from student? I’m not saying that high stake testing is the only and right way, but I believe that if you have a plan to remove something, you need to have a plan on how to fill that gap.
