Here's my "quick reply":

Yet another reason to home school.

I know that isn't a realistic option for a lot of folks, but I sometimes can't help but say it.

I agree with Griff about why can't 11 y.o. be kids anymore? We could all use a little grifftopia. I honestly think a lot of this stuff happens when we abdicate responsibility for our kids, and put it in the hands of underpaid surrogate caregivers, umm, I meant to type "teachers".

I don't want to sound harsh and judgemental, I'm not. Culturally, socially, I think the US is painting itself into a corner. I'd like to come back and develop this idea further, right now I've got to go do other things.

I wish there was a simple answer.
