Why Teens Are Checking Out of School — and How to Bring Them Back

In an age of advanced artificial intelligence, climate change and conflict, authors Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop say we're not teaching children the skills they need, not only to stay engaged, but for the reality of later life.
