Re: ;-)

but the "parents" is actually a single mom working two jobs with little to no education of her own and lacking the time/energy/willpower/know-how to be an effective educational advocate for her child.

I could think of several options. Tax credits for single parents, extensions on the educational loans.

Also, why is it preferable to have everyone saddled with debt by the time they turn 18 instead of paying for this with taxpayer money?

The onus of the loan is on the parents, not the child.
