There are two different kinds of people
There are those who attended school in clearly defined, physically separate buildings.
That is, K-6 was in one school. Then 7-9 (or just 7 and 8) was in an altogether different building. And then the high school years were spent at a third location.
On the other hand, some people -- usually in smaller communities -- went to school in a setting where all of the grades have classrooms practically right next to each other.
I suppose there are advantages to either arrangement.
But here's my question.
Did 12-year-old boys who regularly encountered high school girls in the halls find their academic progress retarded by a persistent pattern of daydreaming?
