[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do some of you feel like the benefits of Middle school starting at 6th or even 5th are? Or having a middle school at all?[/quote] I'd be fine with K-8 programs -- but we don't have the capacity in our buildings for that. I'd be fine with it theoretically, assuming the school is administered in a way that the older grades are essentially/primarily independent of the youngest grades. Just like 6th grades are generally managed in our middle schools - kept kinda separate; but still part of the larger community because they're gonna have to transition to that community at some point. I definitely wouldn't start middle school in 5th grade. [/quote]
