After reading about concerns on Reg One Community FB page about the dicey prospects of the new program at the high school, I shared the following. Overall the idea is to use the permaculture principle (which are online and in a post on the online Turtle Garden Permaculture Game) to have many ways to meet needs...and multiple supports to get a job done..whether gardening or educating others (and one another...)
Also 'conserving energy' would speak to having a support group for each grade if not each class rather than have every family work hard to help their own child/ren succeed.
