answer:This is another topic I just went through in a political science class. If the government paid for education, then it would be greatly underfunded. From what my teacher told me, his nephew went to in Europe and the facilities and classrooms were in a state of great disrepair, along with the teachers, not being paid as well as college teachers are in America, are not as readily available nor willing to help a student outside of class or on a one-on-one basis. Once again this is not a first-hand experience, so please do not get angry if this is not precisely correct
