I highly advise you against sending your students to this school if you can help it. If your student is not already a self-motivated high-perform, they will languish in the classrooms at Lakeside Middle School. At this school, their preferred method of teaching is through videos and an online learning platform called "iReady". That is to say, their preferred method of teaching is to not teach and to delegate it to useless computer software. Then, they pat themselves on the back for having "satisfactory metrics" but, in reality, they're either curving the metrics or allowing the students to retake it until they get enough right. Sadly, though, the students aren't learning any material...they're just learning to guess better to get out of these moronic iReady modules. What is being done at Lakeside Middle School should, frankly, be illegal. To be honest, it likely will be illegal in the future, but it'll be too little too late for the kids that are currently experiencing this video/iReady-first style of teaching.
As you might expect, in an age where kids' attention spans have been whittled away down to zero through the prolific use of screens at home, putting another screen in front of them is a terrible idea. If you wanted to go this route, you would need to invest heavily in training your student's attention spans so that they can engage with the "learning screen" in a productive way. Of course, this doesn't happen. At Lakeside Middle School, the administration is more than happy to plop them down in front of a screen and hope for the best.
