Did you see this recent article in The Wall Street Journal? It’s wild to think that families are working with consultants as early as elementary school and paying anywhere from $30K to $200K to help their kids get into top-tier schools like Harvard University. While getting into a prestigious university is a dream for many, are these extreme measures really the best approach? At College Planning Advisors, we believe in a more grounded, personalized approach. Our goal is to help students succeed by working with them throughout their high school years—not in grade school. We don’t think an 11-year-old should be worried about building a college résumé. Let them enjoy their childhood! And unlike some of these high-cost consultants, our services are affordable and designed to be accessible to families. For less than $4,000, we offer four years of tailored support for high school students, helping them navigate the entire college admissions process—from choosing the right schools to applying for scholarships. And yes, this includes prestigious institutions like Harvard and other Ivy League schools. So if you're looking for thoughtful, practical guidance that doesn’t break the bank, let's connect! At College Planning Advisors, we help students get into amazing schools without the stress—and without the price tag of a luxury service. #CollegeAdmissions #HigherEducation #IvyLeague #CollegePlanning #StudentSuccess

#ArtsEducationMonth is here! Learn how LEAs can put Prop 28 funds into practice from a recent California Department of Education webinar:

The Wall Street Journal recently published an eye-opening article, "The Guru Who Says He Can Get Your 11-Year-Old Into Harvard," highlighting the rise of high-cost educational consulting services that promise to give affluent families an edge in the college admissions process. While these services can craft the “perfect” application, they underscore a troubling truth: access to these opportunities is determined by wealth, not potential. The college admissions system has increasingly become a reflection of privilege rather than a fair evaluation of a student’s talent, hard work, and character. But here’s the deeper issue—getting into a prestigious school doesn’t guarantee success. True achievement depends on resilience, adaptability, and intrinsic motivation, qualities that can’t be bought or polished by consultants. This is why we need to rethink how we evaluate and support students in this process. BRiDDG’s mission is to level the playing field, offering every student a platform to authentically share their story and demonstrate their potential. College admissions shouldn’t be about who can afford the best guidance—it should be about creating opportunities for all. #EducationalEquity #CollegeAdmissions #StudentStories #BRiDDGtheGap #BRiDDG https://lnkd.in/g2frE5r4

An important read highlighting the growing inequities in college admissions. At BRiDDG, we’re committed to changing this narrative—creating tools and opportunities that empower students to showcase their true potential, regardless of financial background. It’s time to prioritize fairness and authenticity over privilege.

How interesting that the first of these reviews acknowledges that it is not actually a literature review but instead a selective review of the literature which aligns with their inspection framework. It is now clearly and openly acceptable to start with the conclusion and cherry pick the studies which fit. Meanwhile we wonder why so many children are now classed as having ‘SEND’? #evidencebasedpractice?#highereducationpromotescriticalthinking

What are the impacts of cuts to arts and humanities courses across the UK? Yesterday, Professor Jo Fox joined BBC Front Row to discuss cuts to arts and humanities courses across the UK. In the discussion, Professor Fox and Professor Anna Vignoles CBE FBA from The Leverhulme Trust shed light on the key factors driving the cuts and the broader implications for the UK’s society, economy and people. 🔍 Key Takeaways: National oversight is needed to maintain diversity of provision, which is crucial to ensure accessibility across the UK and prevent these courses from becoming exclusive to elite institutions. The value of arts and humanities courses extends far beyond the classroom, contributing immensely to the UK economy, society and cultural landscape. There are a number of myths surrounding the value of arts and humanities degrees which need to be dispelled – graduate employment rates for the arts and humanities are on par with STEM courses. 🎧 Listen to the Full Discussion: https://lnkd.in/e5Awginn

"Anyone who has served on faculty or department boards, or taken on commissions of trust, or participated in review boards for research funding agencies, assessment committees and the like, must admit that Blake’s speech about the company’s tactics to increase profitability was just a more straightforward and shoot-from-the-hip version of more or less universal and explicit pronouncements about the gamification of research (competition for funding, citation statistics, emphasis on journal impact factor and other publication strategies, etc.) and higher education (international student and 'star'-faculty recruitment, university rankings, and so forth) to increase status." — Sharon Rider. 2024. “Glengarry University.” SERRC 13 (8): 1–3. https://wp.me/p1Bfg0-92c.
