The good news is Sugar on a Stick is being successfully used in Schools around the world now!  Based on these experiences this is a list of some of the known challenges that people may face piloting Sugar on a Stick right now.  September is start of school in the US, so we expect to see an increase in teachers trying Sugar.  We want to be ready with suggestions and work arounds as people face these challenges.
