I won’t rehash them, but I came across two very interesting articles about middle schools, and how they are another factor in our pathetic public education system.

I went to Junior High, which is different.  I guess different enough that it makes a difference.

Here’s a quote or two to entice you to click:

“The Bermuda triangle of education,” former Louisiana superintendent Cecil Picard once termed middle schools. “Hormones are flying all over the place.”

“If you are the warm, nurturing, motherly, grandmotherly type, you are made for early childhood education. If you love math or science or English, then you are the high school type. If you love bungee jumping, then you are the middle school type.”
