i went to a k-8 school. i think that the developmental years that span 6th to 8th grades are heinous, regardless of where you're schooled. those are the beginning of puberty years. they are the gangly, awkward, self-loathing, acne years. i don't think that the ages of other students affects one so much as the attitude of the school. a good school is going to foster a child's individuality and strengths. whether or not this is done has nothing to do with age span of the other students. i think of the two schools they mentioned, i probably would have chosen the larger, traditional middle school. i guess we always want what we couldn't have, right?
