[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not getting this "middle school kids are less needy" idea. DS started 7th grade in September, and my God, the amount of time I've spent helping him with homework and projects has been insane.[/quote] That type of help is nice, but not critical. My DD almost never asked for or wanted help with homework or projects from 4th or 5th grade onward and almost consistently gets straight As. (She got 1 B per quarter for 3 marking periods one year, but it rotated which course). But there were so many things that she couldn’t do for herself until middle school. Since 6th grade, she can and does travel across town on public transportation. She can prepare a decent dinner safely if the adults had to work extra late. When we’ve had to leave extra early, she can wake herself up and get to school on time. [/quote]
