Children grow up faster in the modern time, they can use phones, type, read, write, by age 7.
It's about time that our education system catches up with the modernization of man.
Boarding schools are proven more effective system for educational services and taking effective measures towards education is the first step we can take in the first world to combat the antiquated system we currently have.
Other middle schools may not look very much different at all. These years of life are really important for learning basically all the basics. The afformentioned school policy is of human design, as everything else on this website. It works in synchrony with how we actually are as people.
Another principle of dynamic balance here, the time that we have on weekends or if they pop up mid-week is so much more special during the school semester, rather than loosing ourselves between juggling work, chores, feeding them cleaning after them that we are stressing out. instead, they can't wait to see us, and if they want to stay home that week, this is the free state.
4 or 8 months in boarding school is so much time away from them though
They're home on weekends
Breaks are all you
I agree, that's a long time.
If you're interested in more traditional schooling then continue on, make whatever changes are saw fit. A friend of mine, through insurance, plans on a "project clubhouse" a house for all the kids in the neighborhood to go to. Before&after school, less cleanup more quality time with her kids. In this same way, that extra piece of peace is priceless. Don't waste your voice during this construction effort, be heard.
Remember, your child will is like a mini-me, so if you feel like you would have done well, then petition on your own behalf. No one understands them like you do.
