The Commuter- Scantron

In the November 12th issue of The Commuter there was an article about the issue of charging student for the cost of scan trons, while in the past they have always been provided. It has been an new issue of teachers charging students for extra materials needed for class that are usually included in our tuition fees. " Where will this end?" That is a great question; who will regulate what schools can charge us for and what can't they? The cost of furthering your education is already sky high and most people are struggling to just make it day by day. If our money isn't going towards class materials that are needed through out the year, than what is the money going for? How can anyone plan a head for charges like these? In the article it said, " If you are going to make us buy our own scan tron sheets then I would like my financial aid to reflect the fact that I have to make additional purchases..." If the school is going to be charging for unexpected fees like this, it should be for seen in the amount of money you are given for the term. This article was a great subject to bring to the students attention; if we are aware of this maybe students will take a stand against schools over charging students for unnecessary fees.
