Caught in the Middle: A Look at Middle School Perspectives
Caught in the Middle: A Look at Middle School Perspectives
To be in middle school is to be caught in between – between being a child and being a full-fledged teenager; between learning the fundamentals and embarking on more advanced studies. Middle school students are in the throes of adolescence, experiencing the physical, emotional and cognitive changes associated with this stage of development. Harris Interactive was commissioned to conduct A Voice From the Middle, a poll of middle school students, to give perspectives of 7th and 8th graders on such topics as current school experiences and expectations for high school and beyond.
