In Case You Missed It: Back to School Time!

Did you know that over 46 million students were enrolled in public K-12 schools in the U.S. in fall 2022? Or that people with a bachelor’s degree made over $84,000 a year in 2022? Discover these and other school-related facts using the Back to School Fun Facts handout. Students can learn the average yearly salaries of workers age 18 and older based on their education level and more. Check out the accompanying teaching guide for ideas on ways to use these fun facts in lessons like having students create a bar graph using data in the handout’s “Gearing Up for School” section.
