I think high-school, the idea of it and the way its done, is absolutely insane.
You are putting 13 yo children at the mercy of 18yo idiots, lol.
If you were a girl you were fresh meat in a shark tank, i saw that change chicks andsend them on the path.
If you were a guy you suddenly lost that delusional distance between adults and kids because there were other "kids" roaming the halls with beards and jobs and drug problems.
It was so fucked.
I like the idea of middle school, as opposed to Jr high.
If you had those kids together 7,8,9 grades they would hit HS at 15 and just slightly more prepared to deal with it.
I honestly think it would make a difference.
