As young adolescents make the transition from middle to high school, ambiguous behaviors are becoming increasingly evident. Hoping to improve these behavioral issues among freshmen, certain schools are reestablishing their system so that 9th graders are isolated from the larger high school community. This will result in negative outcomes for the community as well as for these young adults.
As 9th graders grow they eventually mature into sophisticated young adults, this transformation takes place over time and occurs as they adjust to their new environment. By placing them in an environment in which they are separated from the high school community, their process of maturing is delayed and sometimes even halted.

When placed with those elder to themselves, one They are now at a stage where they can be molded, they are clay pots about to be placed in the oven to harden, it is our burden to decide what qualities we want our future generation to have. Creating a separate, isolated environment for them would result in numerous expenses that would force the community to empty their pockets. Imagine the anger this would form within the community, each parent would be a teapot whistling with steam about to burst with their own opinions. In addition, by dividing up the grades the freshmen would be unprepared for what lies ahead of them, they would not get to experience high school, will be less prepared than the previous generations.
