Students at work. Students collaborate on assignments in the cafeteria, while also being surrounded by their friends. The school is trying a new system, called Flex time, which gives students the opportunity to work in different environments that fit their needs. “I like it (Flex) because I get to see my friends that aren’t in my IF class and work on stuff,” stated senior Madelyn Barron. “I think it would work fine. It is a little crowded, but I like the set up of it. (I would) maybe just have more places for people to meet instead of 3. I know it’s hard for teachers, but having everyone in three places makes it a little crowded.”
