Middle school

A Middle School Tragedy Middle school was supposed to be a time to learn new things, meet new people, and prepare the young students for High School. Mostly, a great time for teenagers to find themselves. Well, not at the Middle School I attended. I attended my seventh and eighth grade years at Athens Middle School. Before actually attending the Middle School, there were always horror stories going around about how terrible it was. The teachers were supposed to be the devil and the eighth…

for your child when you send them to school? NOTHING!!! When you send your kids to school in the morning all they do is there 3 main core classes and then they got to electives. Middle schools today should not make electives a part of a regular school day because it would help kids get better grades, schools would save money on less teachers, and kids wouldn't be as tired in the morning. Middle schools today should not make electives a part of a regular school day because it would help kids…

After reading these sections on middle school student I now have a better understanding to the traits and characteristics that middle schools can have. For example in the reading it discusses a few traits that teachers may encounter with their middle school students, they may be moody, passionate, childlike, energetic, outspoken.. but sometimes with only a few select friends, quite and focused and lastly egocentric, convinced that everything revolves around them.

The first day of middle school is always a little scary, but for me it wasn’t just the first day of middle school, it was also my first day of public school. From kindergarten to fifth grade I was homeschooled by my mother. There were some perks, like being able to sleep in and going at my own pace. However, homeschooling had some downsides as well. For example, I didn’t have many friends and I fought with my mom a lot. Because of this, life could be pretty difficult at times. Now, as a senior…
