[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS is usually miserable for so many kids it makes me wonder why it even exists. Or what could be done, if anything to make it better.[/quote] My kid hd a very happy sixth grade year. That said, I much prefer the system I had in the Midwest in the 80s where sixth grade was elementary and 7-9 was junior high. 6th graders really are still children and should not be with eight graders.[/quote] Yes, it bothers me that here 20 years ago they moved 6th grade into the middle school, too. I think our District does a good job with it, in the sense that they have their own academic building, and you may have the same teacher for 2 subjects (Math and Science OR SS and ELA) rather than one, and stuff like that. But yeah, they are still so young and mostly have not gone far through puberty.... and there are 8th graders who are 6' with beards and look like grown men.[/quote]
