[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids are ready for middle school in 6. Both mine were. 6th graders and kindergartners together also has its issues.[/quote] 6th graders are in no man's land. Nevertheless, let's be real - the 6th graders really don't run into the kindergartners in a K-6 program. My childhood school system (small town USA) - long after I left - moved to K-5, 6, 7-8, 9-12 set-up. They used the town's original high school which had become the junior high (7-8) and then an elementary school and made it a citywide 6th grade building for all 6th graders. I realize that's not practical here; but it seemed like a good transition for that in-between age/grade, a way for 6th graders to meet not just kids from their own school/what would be a middle school, but all the 6th graders they would then be in junior high with. In the end, I really don't think it makes much difference whether it's a K-6 or a K-5 system.[/quote]
