One of my Facebook friends posted a link to the provocatively titled "Why Middle School Should Be Abolished."

As a middle school teacher, I've grown rather used to hearing people point the finger at my profession or my industry and call for its teardown. What I've found is that the most vehement of the calls for reforms are not driven by statistics or evidence-based conclusions, but by the fact that unions still have a strong presence in the industry.
