How the hell do you provide that? Since I'm a naturalized citizen at 6 months old, I have to provide proof of English education. It's been over 10 years since I attended middle school and I don't think my highschool transcript shows middle school attendance. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Any tips on what to do?

Are you sure they are asking for your education in learning English? Seems like they would be more interested in seeing proof you have taught English in middle schools if you were trying to get a higher salary than normal.

If they do want your middle school records, I would just send an email or letter back asking, "Where were you on the night of March 21, 1983?"

I would guess that you just write yourself an affidavit stating that you attended and graduated from xxx middle school, and xxxx high school from and to. Get it notorized at the Embassy.

This was quite common in Japan, all they want is a list of schools you attended.

Sorry to say but this is generally the way they root out newly naturalized citizens. The "holder of passport from XXX country" is the PC way of saying:

We only want you if you were born there, or went to school for most of your junior life there.
I hope you naturalized form an English speaking country.

Still good luck, give them a list and go from there.
