On May 22, 2007, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and Phi Delta Kappa International (PDK) released the results of A Voice From the Middle, a nationwide poll of middle level students. Conducted by Harris Interactive, the survey of 1,814 students in grades seven and eight reveals several stark contrasts between students’ educational goals and their beliefs about how they will achieve them. The poll may be the very first national snapshot of the aspirations and school experiences of middle-level students. The results are astounding. |
| “These poll findings show us that our nation’s middle school students have high hopes for their futures and high expectations for themselves. That is great news,” said William J. Bushaw, PDK International executive director. “Our challenge is for us to accept and act on these findings — to help all students succeed in high school so that they graduate prepared for postsecondary education and the jobs of the future.” |
