I tried one which made it impossible to send Outlook emails. I had to turn it off every time I wanted to send. But, everyone needs one these days. Some are built into browsers.

Between 2021 and 2022, 56 percent of K-12 education organizations were hit by ransomware, a nearly 25 percent increase from the previous year. That’s a staggering number, and a clear indication that threats against schools are only getting worse. While risk assessments are one of the best things a K-12 school can do to understand their cybersecurity vulnerabilities in order to be strategic about how to protect against them, this critical tool is often avoided.

While some highly value it considering it key in scholarly achievement and academic performance, others view it as a nuisance to students' independence and a cause for unwarranted emotional and physical stress for kids. The controversy surrounding homework does not only revolve around its value, but also around questions such as: How much homework is enough homework?
