SES, as described in this article, is exactly what my sixth and seventh grade resource students need, particularly the boys. School becomes so difficult for them around this age as the reading and, particularly the writing becomes more and more complex. While language arts on paper is one way of measuring student learning, it is not the only way. My students have strong non-verbal problem solving skills and love computers. They would love this school, being outside, solving problems without having to write, and using computers. Developing real relationships with healthy adult teachers centered around meaningful learning is another benefit I see for them. What a great "thinking outside the box" way to teach using technology. Our county has nothing of the sort available, and, as a result, my very bright resource students are failing in their highly verbal linguistic environment. Too bad.
