[quote=Anonymous]Changing classes in middle school comes with so many more challenges than just having a different teacher. Nothing in 5th grade ever fully prepares kids for it. They just have to learn on the fly, and understand that it’s an adjustment for everyone. Making sure he attends every possible orientation opportunity over the summer will be far more valuable than fussing about having math class with the teacher across the hall in 5th grade. And my DD says her most valuable lesson was finally understanding that the shortest way isn’t always the fastest way. Some hallways or stairs get so crowded, they should be avoided at all costs. Most sixth graders have to learn all this the hard way, unless they have a friendly 7th or 8th grader to advise. [/quote]
