Through a
review of the transition literature and a survey of 225 students
about to enter middle school, the most significant anxieties identified
were the following: (1) space concerns about a new and larger building,
especially getting lost and being late to class; (2) contact with
older and possibly rougher students; and (3) heavy homework assignments.
