Post-secondary school is becoming more than just an option, but part of the equal right to education. Our K-12 education system is no longer sufficient enough to obtain a substantial income. For a single person to acquire economic security, “It would take a minimum wage of $14.17 an hour” which is 2/3 what it costs for a family of four to survive (Berman). A 2011…

I believe post secondary education should be free because it would affordable for low-income students, the government of Ontario provide free services for the students that have learning disabilities or the student have a disability, and a student doesn’t have to take loans for the tuition fees.

Low income level families…

on students and the teaching and learning of physics in secondary schools. How important is the role that they play and what are the key lessons for teachers in considering these areas in the future. Physics in high school is important as it develops pupils’ general understanding of the world around them (Millar & Osbourne, 1998).
