[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year's 9th graders were a weird class because they did their last big transition, from 5th to middle school, during covid. I think that created a lot of issues because many never really got organized in MS and skated through with low covid era expectations and social isolation.

Then they go to high school, the 50% rule disappears, they have EOY MISA testing, and other demands are way higher and it's sink or swim. [/quote]
I think you can say the same for current 10th graders too (except for the MISA testing).  Pretty much missed all of middle school. [/quote]

You're right but there's something particularly hard about missing 6th or 9th. I have a 10th grader too so a kid who did virtual 7th but at least she had one year to make friends and was familiar with how MS works. Younger sibling did 9th online and it was really different seeing all strangers on the screen and feeling no connection to the school. She had never been to the MS school once.[/quote]
