[quote=Anonymous]The transition to middle school is huge for most kids. There's a big increase in expectations for organization and independence, and in FCPS they start getting letter grades. Also, they are in school with kids from other elementary schools and have a wider social circle. It's very important to stay informed about who their friends are and how they spend their time. Unsupervised time after school is when a lot of kids experiment and get involved in social media. I think taking time off during the middle school years is a great idea if you can manage it.[/quote]
