[quote=Anonymous]The 6-8 MS model makes it a lot easier to do 6th grade algebra, which is a big push at the moment. It also makes instrumental music easier logistically and gives the 6th graders access to a full time strings/band program. Parents don’t like it because there are obviously more behavioral issues in middle school vs. elementary, and it’s a less nurturing environment. Middle schoolers are expected to be more responsible for their own success and have to manage taking more classes from a larger number of teachers. Probably the biggest factor as to why no one likes the 6-8 middle schools is because MS is on the worst schedule having to start super early in the morning. I don’t expect the rumblings of “6th to middle” to stop any time soon, especially if they continue to push to expand the pre-K programs, but I think the logistics and family resistance will be too hard to overcome.
