Seneca Hill Winery recently purchased land for the purpose of establishing a new vineyard. Management is considering two varieties of white grapes for the new vineyard: Chardonnay and Riesling. The Chardonnay grapes would be used

- IBM Global Center for Smarter Analytics Case Analysis 7: Hamilton County dropout rates and lagging performance required the county to address these problems on the individual student level. Department of Education But that meant first finding the students who needed help, and doing so before their problems led them to drop out of the Hamilton County school system. At the end of the day, there's no one better positioned to sense when the student is in academic trouble than a teacher or counselor with whom students have a direct relationship. The trouble is, warning signs are often complex and cumulative in nature, thus escaping the notice of frontline educators and administrators. Add to that the everyday challenges of running a classroom, and it's all the more understandable how problem students can fly “under the radar" until it's too late.
