Without the mutual respect, students will not be eager to learn from you and parents will not support the teacher. When a teacher displays genuine care and respect towards a student, they become fully engaged and excited to step into your classroom.…
Middle schoolers; they are young, distracting, irresponsible and blame worthy. But as East Jordans 2014-2015 school year ended our school board decided it was an abundant idea to put middle school students in with the high school students. At first it was fine, until middle school students had classes with us, because Middle Schoolers should not be intertwined with high school students and their classes. The school board needs to change middle school class regulations , Or bring back the Middle School building.…
Growing up as a kid I never really enjoyed reading and writing. It was and probably will always be my least favorite subject, nothing against you my lovely English professor, but I just don’t enjoy it. The only time I really enjoyed reading as a child was when I got my first leap pad and I eventually destroyed it and it was probably within 2 weeks of getting it,…

During that time I knew nothing about being in a big school because the biggest school i've been in was yankee ridge. (Which is really small).…

Middle School Mid-Life Crisis Middle school, a time of cringe worthy moments and regret. I like to refer to this story as my “Middle School Mid-Life Crisis”, since I questioned the purpose of going to school almost every day, and never felt motivated to do anything. Dreading almost every day of school, not having stable mental, emotional, or physical health, and feeling dissatisfied with myself as a student. My mind set was always on countdown mode, “I just have to make it through this class period. I only have 20 more problems to do.”…

It is hard to distinquish what is true from what is not. Throughout middle school and high school different teachers say different things. Throughtout my writing I have always received mixed signals.

A metamorphosis is a transformation and I believe the effects of metamorphosis usually result in maturity.

Overview When coming into this school year I had high expectations of what it would be like, unfortunately school does not have instructions included. We all have this pre-written idea of what the seventh grade will be like, whether it's improving our social status or finally being in a relationship. When looking at these goals from afar we just think these are the cliche pubescent middle school goals; at least that's what I thought when I surveyed students in what they wanted before the school year ended. But when we look at these goals with an open mind they're actually trying to figure out your place in life or figuring out…
In the video twenty-five seven year olds were evaluated on how they were handling to cope with peer pressure and would it be easier to conform in order to be part of a group or be robbed of their individuality? A test was done with all of the children to find out how they would react with differences in people. Different scenarios were given, for example being excluded from a group, being sad and being a slow runner. A little boy named Jamie was asked do you think it is right to not ask the slow runner to join the team. Jamie’s response was “they should have asked him to join the team because it doesn’t matter about winning.”…
