[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you were growing up did your middle school have a playground or recess?  Mine definitely did not.  Of course no one ever thought that middle schoolers needed aftercare either so maybe different time, different place?  We did still have recess in 5th grade but the boys mainly fought and the girls mainly stood around forming cliques and excludIng each other do maybe no recess is for the best.  [/quote]

Where I grew up, I never heard the term "middle school" and hadn't heard the term until I came on DCUM.  We had elementary school, K-6, Jr high school, 7-8, and high school, like most of the country.   "Middle school" seems to be a DC invention or does MD and VA have it too?

Yup, we had recess in 5th and 6th grade in the playground with concrete under the monkey bars, see saws, swings, etc.  How times have changed...[/quote]

You don't get out much.  Many places throughout the country have middle schools, and many places have junior high.  Middle schools often include 6,7, and 8, whereas Jr. High usually has 7 and 8, sometimes with 9 too.  But these aren't strict rules.[/quote]
