“My statistics class was canceled, the library’s closed again, and it’s impossible to meet with professors — but I did learn one thing: the probability that I’ll finish college in less than seven years is... zero.”

Correction
In the February issue of the California Educator in our story “Meet Generation Z,” our caption on page 9 wrongly gave the impression that students at Crocker Middle School in Hillsborough are allowed to have cell phones on campus. The Crocker handbook states: “Personal stereos, pagers, cellular phones, or other communication devices may not be carried or worn at school or at school functions. Any vio- lation is at the student’s own risk.” The Educator regrets the misrepresenta- tion of Crocker’s policy regarding cell phones on campus.
