Realize – Student Feedback
• “The freedom to go ahead in education without being held back from other students. “
• “You have freedom like an adult. You are respected by teachers if you respect teachers. You can choose what you want to do and how you want to do it as long as its not far off topic.”
• “It is different because you don't have to go around to different classrooms and because it is mostly project based.”
