When I was in the 6th-8th grades, I went to a MGM school. We had so many more opportunities to do things than the "regulars" that shared the school with us. We had a community garden, a small farm, a intensive, all subject study of Yosemite followed by a 1 week trip to the Valley each year. We also had music, theater, art classes and lots of other fun things.
While I still sucked at the subjects I've always sucked at, I felt successful in some of the other opportunities I was given. It really changed the way I thought about school and learning and made a HUGE difference in my life. I wish every child in school had these time of opportunities.
