Description
Because Hutterite Communities usually don't have more then around 40 students (give or take) the classes are usually very mixed and as a teacher you can expect to teach a large variety of subjects as well as a large variety of grades which can obviously have it's challenges. Since High school is a fairly new addition and most colonies don't have the resources to teach all the necessary high school courses, most schools are part of an ITV system.

So we high-schoolers take courses online with large screens that give us the ability to see the teachers and also communicate with a large variety of students our age that we would generally not have on the community. This system also gives us options for courses that are not compulsory and that we would not have on site, such as Law, Chemistry or Family Studies.

The system is not ideal (since the teacher is not onsite) but it's definitely an improvement and gives opportunities that we would not have otherwise.
