Abstract Chapter twelve in Meet Me In The Middle is about the advisory program that should be seen in a middle school. There should be at least one teacher that knows each student very well. This ensures that students will have academic success and will have someone to talk to if they have any other issues. This book suggests that there should be days when students just spend time with their advisors doing fun activities. These activities do not always have to be related to academics, but they create a bond between a teacher and a small group of students. Students should also have one on one time with their advisor in order for them to get to know each other and to allow a positive relationship between a student and an adult.
Reflection I do not know how I feel about the commitment in this advisory program. i agree that students should have one on one time with their advisors and that a student should have at least one teacher they can run to when they have problems, but I don't agree that this should take away from academics. I strongly disagree that advisors should be able to take their groups on trips for a whole school day. This is fun, but for the students teachers this is very inconvenient.
