My school school wants to know how others feel about this.

I would place a major no vote here. Children in middle school are in the midst of change, both mentally and physically. They are becoming much more aware of the outside world, including some of those elements that are not appropriate for younger children. They also need a great amount of attention and activivities geared just for them, and they need to start the transition to high school (this includes introducing them to some of the freedoms and changes such as free study, changing classrooms and teachers, choosing courses, sports, clubs, and other after school activities). Hope this helps.

It is a safety hazard and irresponsible to combine just a wide age range of students. There is plenty of negative bus incidents in middle school. Imagine a little 5 year old on a bus with a 8th grader (around 14-15 years old). That's crazy!

NOOO. Sorry, I'm dramatic.
Some little kids are annoying, and some middle school kids could be a bad influence for the elementary kids.

It depends on which area/country you are in.
Rural areas/villages have only one school in them that caters for children aged 4 years old to 11 years old.
In some parts of cities/towns they have one school for children aged 4 to 7, then another for 8 to 11 year olds. But these are being phased out in favour for just one school that takes children from 4 to 11 - as they are cheaper as regards to electricity, staff and maintenance.

it would be agood idea the little kids could see the middle schoolers in action but i don't think the middle schoolers would like it very much. and the older kids can help the younger kids

no because middle schoolers think totally different than elementry students. elementry students are still a bunch of inocent kids who become each others best friends in 2 seconds unlike middleschoolers

no, the maturity levels of the various grades are very different, and designed accordingly, ith elementary students being watched more closely and the 6th graders being picked on could easily go back to the 3-5th graders and take out their frustrations on them.

No. I would not want my kindergartner in school with at 8th grader. I think 6th grade should still be in elementary school too.

that would not be a good idea....they are on different levels and they both need their spaces to learn new things and move on to another level....dont worry elementary scholars...u'll get there soon
