"FREE" things are useless values. At least make them clean their own bathrooms and clean up the campus.
Yup, those people who are getting this benefit are really good at cleaning bathrooms and sweeping up stuff. Step and fetch it boy.

My education was free, nearly totally free. I paid almost nothing. So that means in your informed opinion that I don't have values. Well, not your values. I earned my college education by being a successful high school student. I earned my professional education by being a successful college student. School was my job. School was my children's job. They turned out just fine, thank you.
