Torrance, CA | Re: OpenDNS Looks like you certainly don't need any help. Good luck. I almost never see the redirection, because the most useful class I took in high school was typing. | |

| Re: OpenDNS What is middle school? No such thing when I was kid. Would it be the same as junior-high? Also, when I was younger, elementary was up to 6th, and junior-high went to 9th. High school was only 3 years. Funny thing, when I got into high school, it was 4 years, but I joined as a sophomore.
I wonder what politically-correct mind dreamed up the big change of grade level and name.

| Re: OpenDNS I've never heard of a school ending in grade 5 either.
The only two ways I've ever heard of it being broken up was:
Method 1 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-8
High School: 9-12
Method 2 -
Grade School: 1-6
Jr High / Middle : 7-9
High School: 10-12
And, where I was raised, in Sacramento CA, it's done both ways depending on the school district.

| What is middle school? ...
I wonder what politically-correct mind dreamed up the big change of grade level and name. I don't think this has anything much to do with political correctness. It has more to do with economics. When a community finds that many of its neighborhood schools are overcrowded, it might decide to build one school for the middle grades instead of expanding all of the neighborhood schools. And then "middle school" becomes a natural name for this new school house. This has happened in enough communities that the name "middle school" has become a commonplace, and is now also used for just that range of grades even when there is no separate school building.

| Re: OpenDNS My grade was the first to enter the middle school (where I grew up) instead of the junior high. At the time they moved the 6th grade out of its own school to join the 7th and 8th, and moved the 5th into it's own school. So it went
Separate grade schools: K-4
Central 5th grade
Middle School: 6-8
High School: 9-12 | |
