Comments on: Is school worth it after 8th grade? https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/05/22/school-worth-8th-grade/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Tue, 23 May 2017 21:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Stacy Mergenthal https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/05/22/school-worth-8th-grade/#comment-17006 Tue, 23 May 2017 21:57:00 +0000 http://occasionalplanet.org/?p=37065#comment-17006 What I understand from a German school friend of mine is that the German model offers more options after middle school, including vocational training. They seem pretty strict on who is allowed to obtain a higher education but there are some aspects of their educational system that are good ideas. It seems like a more hands-on, practical education would be a good option post-middle school. I was happy to note that the school my young ones will be attending in Vermont includes farming/gardening in the curriculum because these are practical, outside-the-classroom lessons that are sure to be useful to them. They are excited for a shift in the paradigm.
