MIDDLE SCHOOLS ARE THE WORST! THEY REPORT LOWER SELF ESTEEM THAN K-8 SCHOOLS! (WEISS AND KIPNES, 2006); RESEARCH MODELS HAVE FOUND THAT 6 OUT OF 8 TESTED MODELS TESTED SHOW NO MIDDLE SCHOOL EFFECT ON OUTCOMES!!! (WEISS & KIPNES, 2006); BUT SELF ESTEEM IS AN INDICATOR FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT! (WEISS & KIPNES, 2006); WE NEED TO RESTRUCTURE OUR PRACTICES FIRST! "THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE THE ONLY MEASURE OF HOW SCHOOL GETS ON WITH ITS BUSINESS"(SIZER, 1984, AS CITED IN LEE AND SMITH, 1993); WE NEED A NEW STANDARD, AND RELY ON STRUCTURE INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUALIZED CASES (SIZER, 1984, AS CITED IN LEE AND SMITH, 1993)!
