[b]This isn't a sufficiently nuanced perspective and is the perspective of a parent, not someone who is a teacher or administrator of a middle school. [/b]

PP quoted and I wrote from the heart both as a parent and my direct experience with elementary, middle and high schoolers. Your assumptions about me  are inaccurate and your conclusions naive. [/quote][/quote][/quote]

Okay, then, tell me precisely what was inaccurate about what I wrote, like I did for you.  I suspect you can't because you carry around a movie-model of middle school that doesn't mirror real life, and I suspect your "direct experience" with tweens and teens is that your own children occasionally had friends over. You do not write like someone who professionally works with teens day in and day out. But I will give you a chance. What, exactly, was incorrect about what I wrote? The fact you didn't bother with the substance of my post -- I suspect because you can't -- tells me that you don't like the fact that people with real boots on the ground in middle schools would roll their eyes at your 80s movie description of the middle school world.

In my view, the ones who are naive are the DCUM parents who think that because their child isn't "popular" the child isn't capable of destructive behaviors. You think your unpopular child isn't bullying, isn't experimenting with sexual behaviors? That's only a "popular" kid thing? You are just blind.[/quote]
