schools across the country are grappling with fewer students in classrooms, causing a ripple effect on learning, funding, and engagement. research shows that the number of chronically absent students has nearly doubled, from about 15 percent in the 2018-2019 school year to around 30 percent in 2021-2022. millions of students miss 10% of the school year or more—whether excused or unexcused—and substantial increases in chronic absenteeism were prevalent across every state that captures this data. the research results imply that an additional 6.5 million students became chronically absent in the ‘21-’22 school year, on top of the millions of students who were chronically absent before the pandemic. because of the correlation between attendance and learning, this uptick in absenteeism has grave consequences for student growth. in states like texas, where school funding is tied to attendance, it also creates financial constraints.

in 2009, professor tina seelig looked over her class of stanford business students and assigned a simple challenge. working in groups, the students were given $5 and 2 hours to make the highest possible return on their money. they had a week to plan their strategy with almost unlimited creativity. at the end of the challenge, each group gave a 3 minute presentation to share their process and results with their peers. most people faced with a similar challenge would follow one of two logical routes to secure a return on investment (roi): focus on the money and try to “flip” it - buy an item for $5 and sell it for $10 focus on the time allotment of 2 hours and try to “side hustle” - engage in “gig economy” jobs to make additional income

take a casual stroll through the past predictions i made about education, leading up to 2024. you'll see they were pretty spot-on. over the last few years, i've called several major trends in education that hit the nail on the head. digital skills? they've become a big deal in classrooms everywhere, just as i anticipated. hybrid learning – a blend of online and traditional classes – really took off, especially when the pandemic stirred things up. i was also right about schools taking mental health more seriously, with unprecedented support now for students' emotional well-being. career and tech education received a major upgrade, equipping students with cool tech skills for the future job market. and, oh boy, did ai and machine learning make a splash in education, personalizing learning experiences and reducing administrative burdens.
