On Gender, the FAFSA, and more

Does the gender of your daughter's teacher matter?  According to one study, "females elementary school teachers' comfort with mathematics has an outsize effect on the girls they teach.  On the other hand, gender doesn't seem to make any difference for boys.

These days, perhaps one question that should always be asked of a college or university is "how financially stable are you?"  Moody's Investor Services, a leading provider of credit ratings and risk analysis, has just downgraded the outlook for higher education.

And finally, if you're still working on the FAFSA,  the New York Times is continuing to answer questions about the FAFSA on their education blog.
