I came across a great article from the Washington Post. I can recommend this highly to all parents of middle school students.
Those of us who teach in middle school know that these are important years in a student's life. I often tell students that THE most important thing they can learn in middle school is how to organize themselves. I've also told parent groups that they should no longer be responsible for packing their child's backpack every night. Both of those are addressed in this article, along with other good tips. I hope this will provide food for thought for your family.
