Red is if you want the middle schools to close and blue is if you are against them closing
Debate
Two tier Suffolk.Your views on closing our middle schools.
Ok,I know it's going ahead already but I just wanted to know your views on it.
At the moment,the range of schools in Suffolk is working on a threee tier system,but it is soon to be changed to two.Suffolk county concil wanted to produce the sytem and despite a petition signed by more than 10,000 people against the change they went ahead with the decision.
Below are some red and blue boxes.The writing in the red boxes is for the closure and the writing in blue is against it.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS IN THE BOX.

Youths in Suffolk wouldn't feel any different from others in England.
Primary school children would not have the stepping stone of middle schools and would be mixed with much older children

The change would be very disruptive for primary and High school students.
Ms O'Brien, who is an important person in the change quoted: "We needed to identify a school system that the county could afford, which would serve Suffolk pupils well for several generations and which would help those pupils achieve their maximum potential." Whatever that means.

I already live in a two tier system where i went from year 6 into high school. I think it gives you more responsiblilty at a younger age, and gets you ready for the real world sooner which is much better. So yeah- get rid of the middle schools and put the money into better resources and education in High schools!
