I'm all for making education more accessible, but why does it have to be one extreme or the other (free or tuition) - if taxpayers are making education free, can't we levy a requirement for the graduate to at least volunteer Peace Corps style? Perhaps the term of volunteering could be inversely proportional to their grade such that someone who drops out early has to volunteer for a longer period of time.

Do you plan to ask this of everyone who goes through K-12?

My comment was targeted at a tertiary education post. That being said, some of my children went to an expensive private K-12 school where the tuition HAD to be supplemented with volunteering at the school (or elsewhere). I felt it was a valuable lesson for all involved. Nothing is free.
