As the father of two school aged children I would be good with this. It's welfare. And most of the graduates are going elsewhere so why are Louisiana taxpayers still funding this welfare program?

I know plenty of families with kids who received TOPS money and they are very well off and will also bitch about food stamps and section 8 money.

The criteria to get TOPS needs to be raised, it's too easy.

TOPS is literally the best service the state has to offer

that would be a great start but i like abolishing the program all together. You can't be against frivolous welfare handouts and in the same breath accept this handout.

How is it welfare when it has a merit component to it?

Not saying whether TOPS should be kept or not, but this does not make sense to me.

Enrollment would drop in half and all those pretty new buildings would be wasted

Yes, in an education deficient state, let's remove all incentive for higher education.

Sounds like you need TOPS.

They should do TOPS for private school (K-12). That shite's getting out of hand.

It's a very low standard and as I said, graduates are spending our money and going elsewhere.

You're gonna piss off all the faux conservatives here but I approve.

We are funding our own fricking brain drain and why people don't see this is proof that the education system here is fricked up.

Louisiana saw 80,000 residents leave the state in the last 3 years. Jobs for college educated individuals just are not here in this state.

I don't know about you all, but the last thing I want to do is pay for my neighbor's kids to go to college and leave the state after while at the same time trying to pay for my own shite.

Pay for your own shite, college students! I did!
