 Dear reader,
 
Liz WillenWhen it comes to discussing how to improve U.S. education, I’m often surprised at whose voices are missing: students. And one of the things that sets The Hechinger Report apart as a news outlet is our focus on these important stakeholders. This week, you will hear from students about paying for higher education in editor Caroline Preston’s story on income share agreements.
 
You can hear about restorative justice from a student at a transfer high school in Manhattan, via our partnership with a student podcast, The Bell. And you can also hear from student parents in my story set at a community college, where a future nurse, surgeon and speech therapist told me about what it’s like to balance studies and young children – and how they get by with a little help from subsidized child care. Students, what’s on your mind? We’d love to hear from you.

Liz Willen, Editor

Main Idea 

To pay for college, more students are promising a piece of their future to investors 

With ISAs, unlike with loans, graduates pay nothing if they can find only low-wage work, and there are often limits on ISAs’ duration and on the total amount graduates must repay.
Reading List 

Subscribing to college and other visions of higher education’s future 

Academic labs test artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other innovations to boost learning, lower costs.
 

Why aren’t more school counselors trained in helping students apply to college?

Student mental health, not college and career planning, is the focus of school counselor education — and that’s hurting low-income students the most.
 

How parents of young kids make it through college

High quality on-site childcare helps these students beat the odds and graduate.
 

Black college presidents matter; we should lead from the top  

Appointing a black college president can spark racial inclusion.
 

Research on early college high schools indicates they may pay for themselves in the long run

Study found higher cost but more college degrees for low-income students.
