I’m sure someone has asked them self what it would be like to go to a whole new school at one point in their life, especially if they did not like their school much. I certainly had, but I most definitely not expecting to. Going from a private school like Jackson Academy to a small public school like Puckett High School was a big change, and there were many contrasts between the two schools. The three most important differences between Jackson Academy were the size, dress code, and education. Jackson Academy was very different from Puckett.…
Middle school was a different place and environment that was different from elementary school more work and less people. In middle school I learned my strength and weaknesses and my likes and dislike .Middle school was the stage where I found myself.

Even inside the classroom I had to adjust to new teachers and teaching styles. This doesn't sound like a lot, but coming from a small school that I went to for nine years with all the teachers having virtually the same teaching style, it was a lot to take on. I had to learn to live on my own four years before the majority…
Changing schools was the turning point in my life. Coming to a new school gave me a chance to meet new people who shared a similiar interests with me and find a place to fit in. For as long as I could remember I had trouble connecting with people. My parents both came to America to create a better life for their children but unfortunately they could not speak English. They also did not allow me to interact with kids of different races because they were fearful it would corrupt me.…
My first 6 weeks in Middle School have been great. So far It has been very fun and academic here. I have met new friends in 6th grade and 7th grade. We have talked about the Bible a lot, how we have a destiny and how God has plans for us. To know God more he will help me throughout the school year, he will help me have better listening skills, to have confidence in myself, to learn about the past.…
My father likes to call middle school the “armpit of his education.” Middle school can be like a roller coaster because it has ups and downs, uncomfortable situations, and things that make you want to throw up. The first day of seventh grade was scary but boring. But, by the second day I loved middle school. I loved the variety of people, my electives and Flex.…

Middle school is an inevitable phase of many of our lives. It is also a very memorable time- for both good and bad reasons. Yet, we all somehow manage to strive through no matter how tough the year gets. For me, at first, none of the typical horrifying middle school stereotypes fit how my sixth grade year was going. I had plenty of friends, understood my classes, and I didn’t appear to be too awkward.…
I had a good schedule. I had writing, reading, gym, AVID, lunch, history, science math, and yearbook. Middle school was a big transition for me and it’s very nerve-wracking. I asked a teacher where i would go for my classes, she explained how everything works. I headed to my first classes, it turned out i had the same teacher for first and second teacher.…
Change… What does this word mean to you? When I think of change the words different, and new come to mind. Isn’t that what change is? Something new, and different? Over the past two years, my life, and personality have changed.…
Throughout the duration of the film, The Pygmalion Effect and the Power of Positive Expectations, conflict, symbolic interaction and structural functionalism were prominent. Conflict is relevant to the film when Dr. Philip Zimbardo states that teachers treat children who may be a “late bloomer” or “low performer” differently than those who are doing well in school. Symbolic interaction is shown when the teachers began to treat those “late bloomers” differently than the others and eventually those once known “late bloomers” they actually performed significantly better than the children who were already doing well in school. Structural functionalism is relevant to the film because the teachers worked with the children more effectively and then…

It is critical that a child is prepared for the changes taking place and there are many things schools and parents can do to help make the transitions smooth. First of all open communication between home and school is essential.…

I’ve been in the same school system my entire life, and was nervous to start a new. Growing up I had a negative connotation associated with change; moving taught me that it is important to make the best of your situation, and not all change is bad. It was a rainy first day of school, I had an uneasy feeling the night prior, , without much sleep. My body felt sluggish, and I looked like a train wreck.…
