It seems insane that your personal choices are bound to your family situation- especially when you are an adult.

Just the idea that parents in the US are expected to pay for their children's education is so wrong.

I sort of understand where you're coming from, but on the other hand, if parents aren't to be expected to provide for the children they (most commonly) decided to give life to, then who in your view should bear the financial cost of that decision?

to be clear, schooling until the age of 18 is free in the US, it's higher education whos cost is borne by the parents
