The co-op and the curriculum swap have both settled in. Now look at the week, not the pieces.
Issue 20's co-op commitment and issue 19's curriculum swap have each had enough time on their own clock to answer their own question. This issue covers the next one: whether the whole week actually holds together once the newness of both changes has worn off, and a plain method for auditing a week's rhythm instead of re-litigating its individual pieces.

Issue 20 covered the September collision between fall co-op registration deadlines and a week already reorganizing itself around a curriculum swap. Issue 21 picks up a month later, when the first progress check-ins from those same co-ops and outside classes start arriving, sometimes carrying an ins…
