Your article "What If Your Kids Decide Against College?" needs edited. The last sentence in the second paragraph says that college costs have increased 12% during the same period. I think the period discussed is from 2010 until now. College costs have increased way more than 12% in 15 years. Maybe the 12% is supposed to be 120%? Definitely not 12%. Article is unusable as is.

Thank you for the feedback, Jim Schwartz! We have updated this content piece to clarify: "During the same period, the average costs of tuition and fees at a four-year public institution have risen by over 12 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars." This figure is based on the data from our source, which you can review here for further details: https://research.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/Trends-in-College-Pricing-and-Student-Aid-2024-ADA.pdf
