“Simpli College says your job as a counselor is to help people create a log-in and that's it. All of a sudden you think about the people who for a long time, unfortunately, school has been about access to school. Most of the school experience is given to those who know the system. Many of our families are first generation and have not had a welcoming school experience as parents. They're not going to pick up the phone and call the counselor and figure out when they can get in and talk about whether even college is a good idea for their kid.”
