      Fucking barely. American public schools suck, any school worth a damn in the states will put you in crippling debt. In other words not worth a damn again to most people.

      I double checked if there actually are any good free schools and especially free collages. Turns out yes, there are some, but it’s definitely not the norm.

        Coursera and edx provide a full education on a wide array of topics, and a lot of the liberal arts and sciences are considered so valueless that there’s free information everywhere.

        As for public schools, some are indeed garbage but a lot are fine. Unfortunate luck of the draw just like everything else.

        Learning is more about wanting to learn.
