Junior High
Junior High students are less interested in finding out facts and more interested in asking “Why” questions. In the classical educational model it is called the “Logic Stage”. This is when the child begins to pay attention to cause and effect and to the relationships between different fields of knowledge and how they relate. During this period students are ready for abstract thinking and we begin to teach them logic. Logic is applied to all academic subjects. The logic of writing includes paragraph construction and thesis development. Logic of reading encompasses critical and analytical skills, not just reading for information; the logic in history demands that the student find out why historical events occurred.
