I attended an OD school for a few years when I was young, and I remember each student getting assigned to one of the teachers and we would have meetings with them (I can’t remember exactly how often) but probably a few times a month or so. My question lies in how OD schools work, I knew nothing of OD before I attended, but do the ”principals” or “head of schools” have to be supernumeraries or hold a similar power within the organization? Also do the teachers have to hold power within the organization or are they usually just OD members?
