Turning Point: Chapter 1

Chapter 1: This chapter introduces the idea and integration of middle school studies. Research shows that the specific middle school teaching methods have improved students performances in just about all areas of study. Also it has been reported that the relationships between colleagues, peers and students and teacher have improved. Students are experiencing a greater sense of happiness, peacefulness, and well being. There have been other problems that have come up in schools that have inadequate academic preparation. The trend seems to follow racial and ethical minorities as well as students with lower SES standings. The hope and outcome of this fairly new modified middle school education system is that all students have the same outcome.
