Is this unique to U.S. and Canadian students? The answer to that is likely insightful.

I distinctly remember in middle school becoming a lot more interested in learning because the topics were so much more interesting (algebra! chemistry!) but also becoming much more disenchanted with "school". I remember hating "school" but really loving select classes/teachers.

There's a switch from being taught by one generalist teacher to 4-7 specialist teachers around grades six and seven. The generalist has ~30 students while the specialists have ~150. Both student and teacher know each other less.

I'm not arguing against specialists (since they have plenty of benefits) nor am I claiming this is the only reason (your other guesses sound reasonable too) but I think this is a very "tactile" change from elementary school.

Hard to be good at school and be cool at the same time. Maybe impossible by definition :p

From memory, it was the decreasing perceived relevance to real life. Life was increasingly relationships & understanding my role as a maturing adult; school more (eg) geography, maths, and being told. Feels like travel, community ed, autonomy ed would have been more engaging.

This is actually pretty intuitive. If a 5th grader is 10 and a 9th grader is 14, thats 4 years. But we know that most students only stay engaged for ~14.5 months on average. (https://www.theknot.com/content/too-long-to-be-engaged …) Thats of course assuming the 40% is a subset of the 74% which might be a reach
