Two in three K-12 teachers miss their classroom during the summer, according to new research.

A new survey of 1,000 parents of kids 5-17 and 1,000 K-12 teachers found that it’s not just teachers — parents are thinking about school, too. Fifty-eight percent of parents are looking forward to the 2023-2024 school year and 66% are anticipating it’ll be better than last year.
