A professor at Pace University's School of Education says parents should not compare primary education with higher learning.
"I think it's always important to have a plan for a worst case scenario, but we also have to be mindful, colleges and universities are very different from K-12. There is a different administration in a K-12 environment. You don't have 6-graders going to [an] off campus party on Saturday, for the most part," says Dr. Jennifer Pankowski, of Pace University’s School of Education.
Dr. Pankowski stresses the importance of communicating with your school district to find out what resources are available for you and your child.
