Affording College with Aaron Greene

We have a roundtable of experts to discuss how this pandemic has changed the way our teachers are teaching our students, how students and parents are adapting, and how to move forward in an unknown education process that no one has ever experienced before. With us is http://www.awlawohio.com/mark-a-weiker (Mark Weiker) and http://www.awlawohio.com/lauren-a-sabo-esq (Lauren Sabo) from the Columbus, OH based law firm of http://www.awlawohio.com/ (Albeit Weiker, LLP). Their primary purpose in practicing school law is to help make sure that all of Ohio's students have access to a quality education. We represent students, preschool through professional degrees. We also have https://collegeliftoff.com/ (College Liftoff)'s https://collegeliftoff.com/who-we-are/aaron-greene/ (Aaron Greene), https://collegeliftoff.com/who-we-are/alexandra-greene/ (Alexandra Greene) and https://collegeliftoff.com/who-we-are/paige-chapman-layland/ (Paige Chapman-Layland) at the roundtable. 3:00 - What is the responsibility of the parent to stay on track". What legally should the schools and school districts be providing? What can we, as parents, do so our students don't fall behind? 7:00 - How can the schools track what is learned efficiently? How can or will this be used to allow students to go to the next grade/graduate? 8:40 - What are the variables? From school to school? 12:20 - Parents aren't instructors, but are doing the best they can, but only so far. If your kids are struggling, how do parents get help? What accommodations are allowed for students? 20:20 - What are your recommendations to parents if their school is not accommodating? 32:15 - Can schools retain students during this pandemic situation? Can parents request retention of a grade? 38:25 - How can digital e-learning be done more efficiently? In a perfect world, what should this process look like? How do we improve what we are doing? 47:50 - How is college credit plus affected? 52:50 - With so many internships and job opportunities being cancelled this summer, how should students address this competitive situation? 57:05 - Should high school students go on college visits? What should students do now? 1:01:50 - ACT/SAT tests are in question. How should your student approach taking these tests? During each episode, Aaron Greene, Founder and CEO at College Liftoff, and his staff of counselors help students and families reduce the cost of higher education, navigate the application process, and make well-rounded decisions by evaluating the modern metrics of education. College Liftoff emerged from Aaron's desire to help students learn to treat education like an investment, accounting for the career, academic, and financial factors that shape this decision. He has also forged a debt control calculation to set student loan debt limits for each student.

We ran across an article in https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2019/12/08/college-admissions-scandal-ivy-league-harvard-crimson-education-jamie-beaton/3919491002/ (USA Today) about a company started by a couple of Harvard grads, that's doing more work to get students internationally into the states And they've made a ton of money doing it. But what are their motives? This got us thinking about what we want to talk about in this episode. Where are we, as a country, right now, with college planning, and how we approach college planning for our kids. How can we, as parents who want the best for our kids, make sure we don't get sucked into the hype of college. And how can we best understand how and why colleges and universities cost as much as they do. College planning is something your family MUST do to ensure the best education at the best price for your student.

If the National Collegiate Athletic Association will not to allow college athletes to be paid for playing the sports, then they should at least let them make money by marketing themselves. Players don't make any money from the selling of merchandise, such as their jerseys. Or should they? Aaron talks with Christoper Heaney, College Liftoff's Graphic Designer, and recent graduate of The Ohio State University. Paying college athletes is no doubt controversial, but needs to be addressed soon.

High school offers so many extracurricular activities, like sports, music, and theater just to name a few. Plus, all the sports clubs that you can pay for. And, if you are lucky enough to have professional performing arts groups in your area, they more than likely offer opportunities for your children to begin a professional track. But what is too much? Will paying for all these extra sports clubs and performing arts classes really help your student get scholarship awards? Or are we just playing to our fears, the "fear of missing out." https://mistycopeland.com/ (Misty Copeland) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Kerrigan (Nancy Kerrigan) During each episode, Aaron Greene, Founder and CEO at College Liftoff, and his staff of counselors help students and families reduce the cost of higher education, navigate the application process, and make well-rounded decisions by evaluating the modern metrics of education.

We're deep into college application season, and one of the questions we get is just how many colleges should my kid be applying to? We know this is a really tricky question. Because depending on who you ask, you're going to get a different answer. When you see all these really feel good news articles about students that were accepted into 50 colleges, you might start to ask yourself, "Should my child be applying to 60 schools with the goal of getting into 50 of them?" The simple answer is no. We go over the details of what the serious consequences are if you do so.

We really want people with autism spectrum disorder to feel valued because they do have special gifts and talents that sometimes go unnoticed by the general public.

In this episode, Aaron and Alexandra speak with Aaron Conrad, Director of Operations at Bo Jackson Elite Sports in Hilliard (OH) about the upcoming free seminar The Road From High School To College. Student athletes (and their parents) spend countless hours and invest significant dollars to work on their skill development, strength, speed, etc. When we talk to those athletes and parents after they have spent a couple of years at the college level they all say that they wish they had spent more time choosing the right major, choosing the right college and understanding the costs involved. This forum will be unbelievable for parents. As a parent you are a mentor to your students. To be able to get a candid perspective and have open Q & A with this panel of professionals will be a night you will most certainly remember. This is an interactive evening to allow the audience to ask the questions. Who: This seminar is designed for high school and middle school students, athletes, coaches and parents.

So, should I be paying for my child's college at all? This is another question many parents ask. Many parents did put themselves through college with jobs waiting tables and similar jobs. So why can't this generation of college-aged students just do that? The answer is that, due to the fact that the cost of college has risen so disproportionately over wages, it's nearly impossible for students to do that. And while students can afford to take on some debt, the student loan crisis has become so monumental that it's now affecting certain markets--as well negatively impacting our young people's ability to succeed with their college degrees. So what's the correct answer? Tune in for the answer. During each episode, Aaron Greene, Founder and CEO at College Liftoff, and his staff of counselors help students and families reduce the cost of higher education, navigate the application process, and make well-rounded decisions by evaluating the modern metrics of education.

It's the million dollar question. Do you have enough money saved to send your child to college? How much do I need to have saved? In this eye-opening podcast, Aaron Greene invalidates this question because "it's the wrong question to ask." Rather, he says, we should be asking ourselves, "What SHOULD I be SPENDING on college?" As Aaron discusses in this podcast, college is a consumer purchase--and should be treated as an investment. Families should be empowered to spend based on what the desired degree is worth--not what the college deems as a set blanket sticker price. But can you do that? The answer is yes--and Aaron tells you how.
