Secretary of Education John King visited Coolidge Senior High School in Washington, D.C. on Friday. Michael Stratford of Politico reports that King had an awkward moment when a student asked him about the high cost of college.

“When King asked the classroom of about 15 students how many had filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, only two raised their hand,” Stratford writes. “And none of the students were familiar with the Education Department’s College Scorecard.”
