[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you guys not remember middle school?! There was real learning in high school. But not middle school. It isn't a race. 14 is just fine to start hard core academics (especially if the student is emotionally and academically ready from a positive middle school experience). I hope my kids read a lot of books in middle school. I hope they do projects and follow their interests. Home schooling middle school would be great for this but I'm not prepared to homeschool, so I am looking at what is happening re charters and considering progressive private schools that end in 8th grade.[/quote] My middle school experience was completely different -definitely real learning going especially in math and Language Arts. Elementary school was busy work and high school was sink or swim. Middle school really seemed to establish my classmates' academic paths IMO.[/quote]
