The Big Question On Campus: Is College Actually Worth It?: The branding of “dream college” is a lucrative one. Many students are sold grand ideas of campus life with vast social life, student perks, world-class dorms, football teams, and the messaging that says if you wear these colors, you are somebody. This is all propelled by a very competitive academic environment, and a social pressure that students feel to be accepted and belong. In many cases, college is the price of admission for many careers. But that doesn't mean you can't approach it with eyes wide open & make the most wise decision. Selecting the right college is key to avoiding many years of compounding interest from student loans & missed opportunities. How do you navigate this pressure and make the best call? And ultimately, is college worth it? We think so, as long as you know what's needed to launch successfully in the world.

Understanding your child’s behavior as communication: As in-person learning gets underway across the country, schools are seeing an increase in disengagement and even disrespect from some students. After two years of learning online and often alone, socializing and sitting still in the classroom can be challenging for kids. Add in learning and thinking differences like ADHD, and it’s a recipe for behavior issues. This week on “The Opportunity Gap,” hosts Julian Saavedra and Marissa Wallace challenge listeners to think of “misbehavior” as a form of communication. They share their experiences as educators and parents, and they offer their advice on how to help kids with their behavior. Julian and Marissa also talk about how culture can determine which behaviors are seen as “good” or “bad.” And they discuss why so many kids of color are misunderstood by white teachers. Understood is a nonprofit and social impact organization dedicated to shaping a world where the 1 in 5 people who l
