Right after the Ottoman Empire surrendered, a group of Greek military personnel, including a Chaplin, went to Hagia Sophia and celebrated the Divine Liturgy.
Don’t really get the free college thingy. High school is already free. That can be reshuffled to teach life skills needed in society and the workforce.
Let college be an extra layer now as it is, but not needed for a large percent of the population.
Languages should be taught early. Pretty sure it’s known smaller children are more adapt to learn these than later on in life. English Spanish European Asian.... minimum of 3 in grades 2-5. Then middle school can start literature in a number of native languages.
1/2 split in language/literature, and 1/2 in math and science.
a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

I do. The first two years tech, or community college should be mandatory and free. After that you're on your own. Right now High School prepares you for nothing but a huge debt.

trade school or 2 year community college should be part of "free" public education.

My high school would allow students to take college courses at a local public college or university if they signed up for it. Very few people ever did that, but the majority were the guys who went to the local tech college, getting a free head start on the automotive repair courses. I can only recall two people who went to local colleges/universities for classical liberal arts education. Students at that time were limited to two courses per term.

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

Exactly. By the time each of our three girls enrolled at the U of M, they already had at least 1.5 years worth of college credits completed, free of charge, all courtesy of the local high school program coupled with the local community college. That was a lot of money that we saved.
That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

I have three girls also who spent a good deal of their last HS years at a local junior college. They were not able to transfer many credits to the colleges they attended (just as they were able to claim only a few AP credits), but it was still very good for them. The junior college classes weren't rigorous, but it got them into a different environment and I think it significantly reduced senioritis for them.
