Not only that, but any educational campaign is going to have a certain
success rate.  Let's say that you are able to hit everyone, and you
have a 99% success rate.  Any organization would love to have that kind
of success rate with organizational educational campaigns, but with
Phishing, and the amount of it, 99% is not good enough with the population
size at most schools.
