Great article, thanks for the link Mr. Priam. I have to say that I see the author's point rather clearly--my own middle-school experiences were quite similar, and I can't say I enjoyed them too much. If anything, I hope to one day be the sort of parent that the author describes--one of those who attempts to do
something about the system, or at the very least, approach the problem with an educated knowledge of its inner workings. I know for a fact that my parents had no idea exactly what my middle-school experience was like, and it's quite possible that most parents don't know--or don't want to know, because it's certainly easier that way--what their children are dealing with. <p>
