Ive been rather wrapped up in moving the last few weeks so havent been thinking about high school, or K-12, computer science education as I intended since my last blog post. We do want students to understand something about how physics impacts the world around them. Mark Gurdial thought has been doing some thinking. I dont think so.

Special education, physical science and English as a second language were some of the most difficult areas to fill. About 20 percent of those positions remained unfilled when the school year started. The two most common challenges schools said they faced in hiring were a lack of qualified candidates and too few applicants.
