How to Provide 'Free' College for a Number of People

First, I'm not a socialist and I don't believe in the expression....free college for all people.  But I would these five ways to build a 'free' path:

1.  Offer a 'test-out' path at the end of the 10th grade for high school kids to wrap up a certificate and leave high school.  It doesn't matter if only 10-to-15 percent of kids take it or not, or that only half of them would pass....just that you can subtract kids from the 11th and 12th grade, and lessen teachers.  You can conclude at the end of the 11th grade, probably 50-percent of kids would take the test, and half of them would wrap up high school.  The incentive here?  You offer one entire year at a local community college, as 'free' tuition. 

2.  Force four-year public colleges to provide a fiscal report over how many professors they have, versus staff-members.  Grade them.  Let the public know that there are 15 non-instructor staff members per each professor.  Most colleges would realize that they've made the staff direction more expensive, with no pay-back.

3.  Offer a federal government deal for a community college or trade-school deal....50-percent off the subsequent 2nd semester classes, if you get a 'A' or 'B' in the first semester. 

4.  Go and admit that useless degrees have no payback in life, and don't sponsor or provide any 'deals' for them.

5.  Flunking out across the board in the first semester?  Dump that kid entirely out of the program.  Don't waste time or money on them.
