they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. It was horribly,petrifying considering the fact that I was a little 6th grader going to a…

it is impossible for teachers to accommodate each individual. In the end, this role often falls to older students. That is why rather than separating ninth graders, it is instead important to help incorporate them into the high school community, which can be leaders, role models, and friends for the next generation. One reason why ninth graders should not be separated is the actions and achievements of the students older than them. Many younger students may see the outstanding performance of…

Og Mandino once said, “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” I strongly agree with this quote as I have had experiences in which this quote proved itself. I once tried out for a football team and nearly didn’t make it, but my determination to succeed was strong enough to earn myself a spot on a new football team. I have played football since I was five, but I never faced the challenge of trying out for a team. Going into tryouts, I felt intimidated by…

to make the decision whether or not they should require schools to teach this to their students. Many people have different thoughts about this topic, so it becomes a crucial decision for all citizens involved. It is an excellent idea to teach 8th graders about the Holocaust because they will learn about it in a safe environment if schools teach them, they will gain many life lessons from it, and, furthermore, this is the best age to teach them about the Holocaust due to their maturity level.…

such as a two-year delay. For example, a fourth grader is said to read at a second grade level”. Nonetheless, they claim that this way of measurement can be misleading since “a two-year lag in reading ability for a third grader is much more severe than a two-year lag for a tenth grader, because the delay shows that the third grader learned few skills involved in reading while the tenth grader mastered eight years or 80% of the skills a tenth grader needs. Therefore, with each grade…

Did you know that 5.8% of twelfth graders smoke marijuana daily? (“Marijuana”) Although that number may seem small, it is affecting a large population of students around the world. Not just twelfth graders but eighth grade up to eleventh grade also. Growing up in a small town in Iowa with 2,396 people, where everyone knows everyone and the community is tight knit, no one would expect that marijuana would become such talk within the town. Composed of roughly 1,408 students in the high school and…

questions of: Is it fair? How would they deal with the situation? How would the student persuade the principal to give them the same privileges? And list 2 reasons. The situation would be: “All 5th grader will have only 10 minutes of recess time while everyone else will get 30 minutes of…

familiar. Getting back to the normal routine can be difficult. And saying goodbye to the snow is the worst. Many people enjoy the snow days such as eighth grader Anna Hanus, “I sleep in for a long time and then watch TV or go outside.” The sight of snow excites most everyone and playing in the snow can be fun and dangerous. Just ask eighth grader Delandra Ofosuhene. “I lost my dog in the snow, it was the scariest thing, I was walking him and he was playing, when he didn’t come back, I got…

In the proposed study, a nationally representative sample of 8th and 10th grade students who completed the Monitoring the Future (MTF) 2014 study will be used. The Monitoring the Future has been an ongoing initiative since 1991 conducted by investigators at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research (Johnston, O’Malley, Miech, Bachman, & Schulenberg). Each year data is collected from more than 250 public and private secondary schools (8th grade to 10th grade) across 48 states in…

Club of Metro Richmond at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School, the most meaningful accomplishment had been when my 8th graders received their 3rd report card of the year. Each and every 8th grader I had that year received honor roll or scholar roll. My success would be measured by the smiles on their face and still to this day showing me their report cards. They are 10th graders now. A few months back I talked about about New Year’s resolutions and whether they should decide change for…
