Middle school is also the first time they get to have a teacher for each subject so now they are accountable to 5-7 different teachers vs. 1-2 from elementary school days.
Lawd. This brings back bad memories for me and dealing with my older one when he first started middle school Sorry, CB, but middle school was so bad that I switched the older one to Catholic school at the end of 6th grade and never let the younger one even start.
I think we did it right in Jamaica. There was no middle school, just high school for seven years (1st thru 6th form). Then the 'lower' school could be managed by the 'upper' school. Simultaneously, I like the parochial (Catholic) school system in my part of the U.S. where 'elementary' school is K thru 8th then on to high school.
I just think putting the kids for 3 years in middle school is like segregating them and it makes them feel warehoused until dem ready for prime time.
