[quote=Anonymous]I remember, as a young teacher years ago, a teacher aide with a sixth grader talking about her child. She said she never knew what she was going to find when her DD came home: a child playing with dolls or a teenager obsessed with music. Sixth grade teachers in my children's school did a terrific job of preparing them for middle school. They switched of language arts and math,and gave interesting assignments and made the transition to middle school easy. Going from fifth grade to a sixth grade with block scheduling, lockers, and switching classes--not to mention far more students, etc, would have been difficult. Sure, it can be done, but just because other systems do it does not make it a great idea. Kind of like "whole language." There are some good aspects to "whole language" but it certainly is not the right model to teach kids to read.[/quote]
