Ep. 90 - Aug. 23, 2017: Which Parents Want a Four-Year College for their Children?

In the 2017 EdNext poll on school reform, parents were asked whether they would rather send their child to a two-year college, a four-year college, or neither. When respondents are given information about the costs and benefits of the different options, this changes the decisions of some respondents, but not others. EdNext editor-in-chief Marty West sits down with senior editor Paul E. Peterson to discuss how different groups respond.
