"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Classrooms are filling up as kids head back to school, and Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s two children are among them.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Duncan said students should take more responsibility for doing well in school, and he called on their parents to step up, too.

Duncan said that is the message of President Obama’s address to students on Tuesday. He also thanked teachers for being "unsung heroes."
