STUDENT PROTESTS # 4

Posted by Biggus on November 21, 2010 - 14:01
from the ABC set POLITICS, POWER AND PECCADILLOS

“It’s only right that the state should pay”
“Its society that benefits” you will hear them say
The overburdened tax payer has other ideas
The student’s plight is the least of his fears
“It’s them who benefit at the end of the day
So why on earth shouldn’t they pay their way?”
“It’s just so unfair to students who are poor”
Say the students doing medicine and law
It’s hard to sympathise when you hear that
When it’s coming from the mouth of a spoilt brat

They are not all spoiled brats- probably the minority.

Ouch! Reminds me of Gerry Dammers' 'Rat Race' (I've seen your qualifications/ you've got a PhD/I've got ONE Art O-level./It did nothing for me!) I was at uni twice with a year gap inbetween and, for the record, my dad doesn't drive a Jaguar and I am not, to my knowledge, a spoilt brat.
Being at university isn't just about Pot Noodle and getting hammered.
