my daughters are more conservative than i on most topics. one has over 6 years in the military as of today and is probably going to get out because of the "commander in social engineering"

You said college, but it was in response to someone asking about education. Public schools are free for all citizens for a good reason. Even if you ignore it then I'd suggest that the reason most people even get into college is because of a good public education.

Were these private or public colleges? If private, then not a one person you speak of received scholarships, grants or financial aid for either tuition or books?

A public option is like our public school system; a very inexpensive and viable option for something that all citizens deserve. If you want to pay for private parochial or a Montessori school (private insurance) then you have every right to do so. College would be like elective surgeries or visiting a specialist.

100 percent paid for by all 4 of us including books, tuition, room and board.
working jobs to pay for it all.

That's not exactly what I asked. Were these all private or public institutions from grade school through college?

Ok, since you won't give me a straight answer about the education before college -- which is what I've been asking -- I'm going to assume that those were public schools.

Sounds like they got plenty of educational help by getting a tax-funded, free education before college. Kinda hard to get into college without a proper background.
