Bad Advice, No Advice (Inside Higher Ed)
“The counseling that students receive in high school isn’t effective in helping them enroll in college, according to a national survey released today,” Inside Higher Ed reports. “The survey and an accompanying report, which are by Public Agenda (a research group) and financed by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation, suggest that high school counselors may be a weak link in the chain needed to get more students into college. The report — ‘Can I Get a Little Advice Here?’ — notes that tight budgets have resulted in student-to-counselor ratios well beyond those recommended by experts. But the overall tone of the study is critical of the counselors.”
