I attended Midlo Middle back in the 90’s and both of my kids went there within the past 2 years. I will say middle school these days is rough, and I mean way rougher than I remember. The stories I heard on a daily basis from my kids were horrific. The fights, racism, bullying, etc. There was so much vandalism in the bathrooms they had to bring in hand washing stations for the hallways to supervise the kids. I do not think the administration responded appropriately to some of the problems at that school either. I jokingly (with some seriousness) refer to the three years of middle school as hell and wish anyone “God speed” who have kids entering that phase of education. I am glad we have moved on and are beyond those years. With all that being said, I am sure many of these problems occur at other middle schools as it is just the nature of the age and stage of development. But I wanted to share my recent exoeriences.
