The current high school schedule is more of an advanced version of middle school than it is a preparation for college/university life. The general structure of the high school day is introduced by the time a student reaches sixth (6th) grade. The continued pattern of dipping back into previous levels of school leaves high school students with limited opportunities to learn self-regulation -- including the skills of time management and self-advocacy. The 3:1 Supports program used in collaboration between Frankfort Independent Schools and Kentucky State University addresses these issues by pointing students forward and challenging them to face issues they will experience after high school, whether that be in post-secondary institutions or the workforce.
