K–12 schools are No. 1, and not in a good way. Last year alone, the number of ransomware attacks on K–12 schools topped the number on secondary schools, hospital systems and governments. Other numbers schools may be considering come from Microsoft, which reports that “password-based attacks make up over 99% of the 600 million daily identity attacks” in the company’s own digital ecosystem.

When I left home at 17, I knew I wanted to go to college. I knew earning a degree would help me find a path to a more secure future. And I knew that I was interested in pursuing a career focused on social justice.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
