21 is a movie Staring Kevin Spacey its based on the 2002 nonfiction book (by Ben Mezrich) Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.
Its a good film and worth a watch. All though I thought for people who were that clever...get some better secret signals, not so obvious.
I'm picking this up as it's a similar theme to the free medicine story I mentioned in Hancock and the all heart campaign. In the film the genius student needed $300,000 for his education as a scholarships are very limited.
Would society be better off if students did not need to struggle to pay for their education or is it character building to have to do these things. Does it mean that students who really want it go for it and don't just stay in education because its easy?
May be more students would have more time to excel and develop existing interests while exploring new ones or having life experiences that could lead to great things for them. Instead they are waiting tables or serving drinks in a bar. In the film they explore this with a nice twist.
Should education be free? Its an open discussion comments thoughts please!
(note) without doubt i.e up until 16years old education should be free to every child on the planet no questions.
I am talking about further education, college, university or similar.
