So let's be generous, round up, and ask whether nine employees were doing ninety percent of the work at that company. What were the other seventy-four employees doing? The other 10% of the work. Which group are you in? Most of the time, in the the 10-20% minority that does the majority of the work overall. That said, I've also been assigned to projects where I didn't have a whole lot to do, and other employees did the majority of the work because the project manager assigned them the majority of the tasks. - Peter

As far as I know, the model where 9th grade was part of junior high was a Southern California thing in those days (early/mid '70s). It was that way in SF and Oakland as well. Also Palo Alto Unified junior high schools were 7th through 9th grades in the 1970's until the effects of Prop 13 hit the school district. Then they moved 9th grade to the high schools and closed one of the three middle schools, with the other two middle schools becoming 7th & 8th grades only. - Peter

So I'm sorry that my state does not provide for its schoolchildren or medically indingent but they are not trustworthy with my money to provide for the needy, since their history is they skim 85% of it away to line their own pockets. I am far better off voting down taxes and donating what I've saved to charity, thus bypassing the giant suction machine, and so at least the money I expend goes where it is needed. Or when it comes to education, donating money for scholarships to private schools, where teachers tend to be paid less, but the students get a better education overall, especially minority students. - Peter

Then they moved 9th grade to the high schools and closed one of the three middle schools, with the other two middle schools becoming 7th & 8th grades only. Often the changes are due to facilities. In Cupertino, until the middle school shortage was temporarily alleviated with a new middle school, elementary schools had 6th grade and you could choose 6th grade in middle or 6th grade in elementary. Once they opened a new middle school they dropped 6th grade from elementary school. Of course the shortsightedness of the school district, in selling several school properties to developers, has led to severe overcrowding at the remaining schools, with portables filling what used to be playing fields and blacktops. They should be building schools up, not out, but there's only enough money for portables.

There are situations that work for people. Find them, and quit with all the extreme dogma. I'm not claiming it's easy, but it's not as hopeless as you're suggesting. Are you so blind as to not realize when the teacher has to spend half the class time dealing with behavior problems to not realize that the other students are being cheated out of learning? Or are you so focused on the needs of the one you can't see anything but that. Why do you think that kids graduating public school today have to spend the first year in college taking remedial courses? Nah, you won't get that.

Then they moved 9th grade to the high schools and closed one of the three middle schools, with the other two middle schools becoming 7th & 8th grades only. IIRC, it was a little more complicated than that, with declining enrollment playing a part. They also closed one of the high schools.
