Middle school

Project: Teaching Middle School Middle School teachers help to expand what students learned during elementary school into what they will need to know for high school. The grades you teach vary depending on which school district you work for. For example, some school districts will say that teaching middle school grades starting at fourth and ending at ninth, however the most common is grades six through eight. Just like how different school districts have different middle school grade levels,…

There are a lot of idea’s of how high school is going to be like when I get to high school.High school is going to be a lot different from middle school because they do harder work that I didn’t do in middle school and I might get confused and not understand the work I’m doing in the classroom. When I get to high school there will be no time to be playing around and talking in class because I got to be paying attention to what the…

My experience in middle school is very different from my experience in high school. Two totally different environments and two totally different rules there. The main differences that intrigued me about the two schools are difficulty, discipline,and teachers. The conversion of moving from the Jr. high school to the high school was really surprising to me. Going into both schools was both a fear and a challenge to me. Not knowing what to expect and knowing that every decision I make reflects on…

it because going back to elementary school in sixth grade all the kids would just laugh about what the teacher had to say and make jokes about it after class.. Sex education should not be taught until the end of middle school because at such a young age kids are not ready to learn about things like that and if they do learn they will not take it serious because it would just be considered nasty to them. Learning about sex education towards the end of middle school is good because starting…

Very few Middle Schools provide a break for students. Students do school work all day and leave school feeling very stressed. Students need some kind of break in the day, where they can go outside or catch up on work they missed, because it improves behavior in the classroom, academic ability, and it has health benefits. A break in the day improves behavior in the classroom. There will be less disruptions because the students get to socialize during the break. The break will also allow students…

Bullying Although being bullied in elementary/middle school can lead to many negative things, it can also impact me in a positive way. When I was in elementary school I was bullied a lot because I was chunky, tall, had thick/ busy eyebrows, and had puffy natural hair. From being known as the ugly fat girl with huge bushy eyebrows and puffy hair lowered my self-esteem and confidence a lot. I started to do thing to myself so my classmates can accept me. One day I took it upon myself to try to…

As I prepared my mind to withstand the challenges of meeting new people in middle school, I was confident that I was ready for what I was going to be facing. At first, I was eager to begin learning more sophisticated concepts in school. That was all I had expected as I was entering Stanley Middle School. Then it hit me. Many things had changed. My group of friends had altered greatly, my interests had changed, and my lifestyle had become slightly more mature, although I still was far from mature…

This was exactly what I did as I transitioned from elementary to middle school and from middle school to high school. I went to a middle school where little to none of my elementary friends went to. I remember the first day as if it was just a couple months ago. I was nervous to see what new experiences awaited me. I knew I was going to see a lot of new faces since my old friends all told me they were going to a different middle school but I didn’t care I was eager to meet everyone. When I got…

Middle school can be a difficult obstacle for students but it can be more difficult for the teachers whom are teaching those students. There are many students whom may have a learning ability within any subject as all students learn and think differently. In addition to academic, a student may also be dealing with a personal issue which may affects the student’s capability of wanting to learn and/or succeed within their academics along with seeking help with their personal struggles. As a…
