[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the insight. I have a few questions, is there support for kids that struggle when they first transition or throughout the year, with the same complaints are there plans to incorporate more group learning or lessen computer use? I appreciate the feeback.[/quote]

My understanding is that the reliance on computer usage is intentional. They always tell us that the governor/senator/judge is coming to "observe our model." I don't see that changing.

There isn't anything formally in place, but they're not thrown to the wolves. All of the sixth graders have to go through the transition from top of the pyramid in elementary school to bottom of the food chain in a building with 6th-12th graders. They have their hands held in the beginning and they generally learn to rely on the other kids in their cohort since they follow the same group from class to class the whole year. Teachers still step in if someone is obviously struggling, and they get referred to our intervention team, which is similar to what you'd see happen in a regular school.
