[quote=Anonymous]Listen. Middle school is a “meh” time of your kid’s life. It’s a time of huge change for kids as they grow up and become more independent. And during this time they are also generally less excited about school. It’s a tough time for kids in many ways and it is a time when it is very uncool to love school even for the smartest kids.

I’ve had 2 kids (both high achievers/academically minded kids who did advanced math and 2 years of a world language there). Both kids had mostly great teachers who I found worked hard to engage students both in person and virtually and truly loved this age group. Each one had a small number of duds but remember that over the 3 years of middle school they will have over 20 teachers. Not every teacher will jive with every kid and that’s a good experience to have, because in life you also will have to deal with people you don’t particularly like too.

Both my older kids are now in high school (2 different APS high schools) and they were definitely academically prepared for the intensified and AP classes they have taken. I have one more kid 2 years away from WMS and have no worries about them attending.[/quote]
