If yes, would you be willing to pay more taxes for free post-secondary education?Students often finance their post-secondary education, which can be very expensive over many years. How does a student pay this debt back if they are unable to finish their program, especially in expensive programs such as medicine or law?

Students have been hired to write a chapter on the Great War for the years covering 1914 to 1919 for a high school history book. The publisher, however, has put them on a tight budget for the number of pages and illustrations. Students, taking the roles of historians and authors, must choose only the three most important events of the time. They are responsible for researching the events of the First World War and writing a letter to the textbook publisher outlining and defending their choice of events. Students must use the criteria of historical significance when making their argument.
