As always, Ira Socol make me think. He begins this post "We tend to do everything wrong for kids between 12 and 15. We pretend they are "adults" in terms of care needs and responsibilities, which they are not. We pretend they are children intellectually and physically, and in terms of rights, which they are not. We dismiss their capabilities and hype their potential as threats. We are cruel to them, and we send every possible message that we don't care about them." If you teach in middle school this article is worth reading as is the National Geographic article that was published on the teenage brain (which I recommend you read as does he...he has included the link and it was scooped here on March 11th).
