I'm going to talk to one of the counselors there and see what they say, it could just be that they want something/anything specific mentioned and that's enough. But if not, yea I would have to look for something else, if there are other umbrella academies. I think my fear has been that they will see through the jargon and be like "this is not sequential learning" and then I won't be able to fully explain that there is sequential learning happening. And the other piece too is that I don't hover over them closely, they have a huge amount of freedom but there is fruit from that way of operating. The challenge of it is that I can't explain what their brains are learning, I just know that they are.
