Additionally the flaw in confiscating phones to avoid cyber bullying is that phones will still retain negative messages and the student will then see them later. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632313 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164086?scroll_to=1632313 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 23:05:00 -0400 This is what makes the modern cellular age so appealing. It allows all people to remain in contact regardless of the distance. Phones may have some negative things but they also have plenty positives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632311 https://nowcomment.com/documents/169447?scroll_to=1632311 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 22:29:49 -0500 Parental controls seem like a relatively viable option for parent's who wish to keep their child from certain things. Perhaps school could have parents set restrictions limiting use at school? https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632308 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168180?scroll_to=1632308 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 22:23:41 -0500 Phones, while they are nice to have in a school building to quickly look something up or show people something, can often serve as a distraction. They really are not necessary in school when it comes to pure statistics. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632307 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168156?scroll_to=1632307 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 22:21:45 -0500 This makes sense. Often times kids who get smart phones as their first phones become addicted quickly. There is so much content that it is almost overwhelming. This makes the children become hooked as they want to experience all of the content. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164845?scroll_to=1632292 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 22:18:31 -0500 People will scroll for hours as there is an endless stream of content on social media apps. This means people will never get bored of them as they constantly find new forms of stimulus. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632290 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172222?scroll_to=1632290 Mon, 09 Mar 2020 13:32:45 -0400 Phones have become a mind numbing option like that of drugs or alcohol. They have reached a point in which people turn to them to distract them and alleviate them from their stress. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631863 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631863 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 13:03:43 -0500 Phones always have something new to keep us busy therefore we can never get "tired" of our phones. They will continue to cause dopamine release in our brains. https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631847 https://nowcomment.com/documents/172189?scroll_to=1631847 Thu, 05 Mar 2020 12:55:14 -0500 Free college seems like a good idea on the outside, however it may actually be less beneficial than it seems. https://nowcomment.com/documents/170215?scroll_to=1610256 https://nowcomment.com/documents/170215?scroll_to=1610256 Free college isn't actually "free". That money needs to come from somewhere. In areas where they have tried free tuition, the schools later end up asking the government for money to help cover the deficit they created. Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:32:24 -0500 Opposing source https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597192 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597192 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:30:51 -0500 The issue of increasing college tuition is not affecting those who have already gone to college. Therefore the focus should be on incoming students instead of those who have already graduated and paid a reasonable rate. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597146 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597146 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:23:57 -0500 Forgiving debt is not the way to go. This is because many have already paid off their debts and therefore their money essentially "disappeared." https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597101 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168930?scroll_to=1597101 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:19:11 -0500 This is probably the most common counter argument to the free two years. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596811 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596811 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:46:07 -0500 All states should offer financial aid to students, they can then set guidelines and regulations on their individual programs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596810 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596810 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:43:29 -0500 This concept could be applied everywhere. Financial aid for students doesn't necessarily need to come from solely the government. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596805 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596805 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:42:12 -0500 A common solution that is suggested by many. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596798 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596798 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:34:37 -0500 A counter argument to the idea of offering free tuition is that it may not be very sustainable and may cause issues with funding. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596792 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168927?scroll_to=1596792 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 10:29:06 -0500 Students withdraw not only from school, but also from extracurricular activities. Students will often stop hanging out, having fun, etc. as they are trying to find ways to get out of the rabbit hole of debt. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1595284 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1595284 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 12:47:59 -0500 Students get so overwhelmed with debt and then they struggle to keep up with the classes they are paying for. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1595282 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1595282 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 12:46:09 -0500 Watching their debt rise discourages many students. This can cause them to drop out and then in doing so they could potentially hinder the upcoming society, by possibly removing themselves from the upper educated workforce. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590670 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590670 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 16:35:54 -0500 We are basing debt of time which is a finite amount making everybody's the same. Instead we could focus on quality of education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590659 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590659 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 16:32:41 -0500 Could student loan debt eventually pass the amount of mortgage debt if tuition continues to rise. https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590647 https://nowcomment.com/documents/168163?scroll_to=1590647 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 16:27:36 -0500 College is like an investment. You have to spend money to make money. You may go into debt for a bit while in college, but statistically after you complete college you will be more fit and able to have a higher paying career. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564517 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564517 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 13:01:06 -0500 Students will follow in their parents footsteps, additionally the parents will likely encourage their children to attend college as they will have experienced the benefits themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564516 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564516 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:59:21 -0500 Parents are more knowledgable and therefore have the ability to pass their knowledge on to their children, preparing them for schooling. Going to college has long term benefits that effect more than just the graduates themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564515 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564515 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:58:09 -0500 $20,000 while it is a decent amount of money is something that should be relatively manageable for most individuals assuming they have a stable career. We should also look at doctors and other professions of the sort with graduates $100,000 in debt. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564514 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564514 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:56:34 -0500 Students should do what they can to receive aid. Simply waiting for the government or the schools to do something is not a good approach. If a student wants aid they should seek it out. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564513 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564513 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:54:48 -0500 Something must be done. College is becoming less and less accessible to those with low income. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564512 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564512 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:53:38 -0500 The increase in financial aid is potentially able to balance the increase in tuition. However not everybody receives aid, but everyone must pay the tuition. https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564510 https://nowcomment.com/documents/165106?scroll_to=1564510 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 12:52:56 -0500 This is something that could be very beneficial. However consider this situation: https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562839 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562839 A family makes half a million a year, but they want their child to learn independence skills and therefore they will not pay for the education of their kid. They are now at a disadvantage when compared to a family that makes $150,000 a year but they are willing to pay for a portion of their child's education. We should base scholarship money, grants, etc. off the situation of the student rather then that of the parent. Mon, 18 Dec 2023 21:09:45 -0500 The concept of forgiving student loans would not just help those with debt. It would also do a huge favor to the economy, which in America it currently struggling. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562836 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562836 Fri, 17 Jan 2020 13:44:08 -0500 The idea of initiating a program allowing for a free two years will only alter the experience of incoming students. Those who have already graduated will still have their debt. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562835 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562835 Fri, 24 Sep 2021 14:35:39 -0400 Roughly 70% of college students finish their education with some form of debt. That is an extremely high number. So many students shy away from college in fear that they will struggle to pay their debt. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562832 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562832 Mon, 18 Dec 2023 22:06:10 -0500 Aftershock by Robert Reich... wages are too low for people to afford college. If we want people to have a further education and therefore fulfill a larger role in society, they need the funds to do so. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562817 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164649?scroll_to=1562817 Fri, 17 Jan 2020 13:32:13 -0500 Many people cannot afford to go to college. They believe it to be more beneficial to start a career instead of going into debt for further schooling. https://nowcomment.com/documents/164646?scroll_to=1561460 https://nowcomment.com/documents/164646?scroll_to=1561460 Wed, 05 Jun 2024 05:45:18 -0400 Scandinavia is understanding of the concerns people may have from spending too much time underground. Making people come up to the surface shows they are trying to ease concerns. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544599 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544599 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:56:30 -0500 The idea to move underground is not a new idea. It has been in the works since the 60s https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544581 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544581 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:53:12 -0500 Shows that the government is considering ways in which they can avoid conflict. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544569 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1544569 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 12:49:02 -0500 Other places around the world are taking part in this movement. Hong Kong, Scandinavia, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543549 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543549 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:59:26 -0500 Singapore is already working to move assets underground. This shows that they act of moving certain things underground is not entirely out of the ordinary. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543513 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543513 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:56:09 -0500 It is suggested that in order to handle the increasing population, people should move underground. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543495 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543495 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:53:49 -0500 Problem is introduced here. The population of Singapore is increasing, and there is little space for the people to go. https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543490 https://nowcomment.com/documents/162165?scroll_to=1543490 Thu, 12 Dec 2019 12:52:42 -0500
