[quote=Anonymous]I've had 2 kids do this transition and socially/structurally, both found it quite easy. One had a bit of challenge with the new accountability in MS (5th grade was easy, had little homework, and if he missed turning in assignments, I never heard about it; 6th grade has much more homework, you get zeros if you forget your assignments at home, and mom finds out! But nothing that you are describing (shadow days, etc) would help with this. What they need is more homework and accountability in 5th grade! btw, the visit from counselors is largely to help them understand elective offerings and choose what classes to take. (You don't have a lot of choice, but you have a little in MS.) I do think, though, that kids who are prone to anxiety get very concerned about the transition-- lockers seems to be the biggest stressor![/quote]
