Following elementary is middle school, the school before high school. Most middle schools are grades 6th-8th and students are age 11-14. When entering middle school students are now expected to act in a more mature way. In elementary school students stay in one classroom and have the same teacher all year,while in middle school things become more advanced. You are expected to travel class to class throughout the day, having a different teacher for each subject, as well as you are introduced to new subjects that you have not had before. Curriculum in middle school will be done at a faster pace, and organization of your class will be key. Along with changes in class schedules, you are introduced to kids from another joining elementary school. Which will be a social change for most students. But as school life is changing so are the students, as puberty sets in at middle school. School becomes a time of insecurity and awkwardness, but challenges do not …show more content…
Testing becomes more difficult and important as they are expecting you to be ready for high school in just a few short years. Curriculum for middle school is based on preparing you for what is next and advising on the basics that you learned in elementary school. 6th graders learn mathematics wise, The Number System, Ratios and Proportional Relationships, Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. For English they learn to “Show command of formal English language when speaking for a variety of tasks” “Interpret information presented in many media and formats Identify an argument, claims, and evidence presented by a speaker” formal and informal English and when it is used, grade level vocabulary, “Reading Literature and Informational Text and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects” and writing more profoundly. As for Science they learn about Engineering
Being a freshman can be quite intimidating, especially because you are at the bottom of the totem pole. You are worried about finding the right classrooms, impressing teachers, sometimes maintaining your grades. I can tell you from a senior standpoint that things aren’t as bad as they seem. Yes, teachers will pile on the homework once and awhile, but I promise you will survive. As graduation day is approaching fast than I want, I have a little advice for freshman. Freshman you need to take your grades seriously because they will impact your future, you may think you know everything, but trust me you don’t, and most importantly is to have fun because before you know it you will be writing this same timed writing as I am right now.
Do you think that middle school should start later or later in the day or early in the day.
Post all of the deliverables and have your debate and paper greenlighted by your team.
The question, when should school start has become a very controversial topic over the course of the last few years. Many schools are considering changing school start times to a later time, or have already implemented later start times in middle and high schools. Parents, students, and educators have had mixed responses toward this change. Students are coming to school sleep deprived, and many people feel the answer to this is changing the schedules. Starting school later is not beneficial because many students will not be receiving any extra sleep and this change would only complicate schedules for sports and parents.
Many people endure three years of middle school and four years of high school. It is an eventful time for children between 11 to 18 years old. During the adolescent years there are hormonal changes, environmental changes and emotional developmental gains. Middle school is the beginning of transitioning towards independence under the constant eye of adults. During high school they are challenged with real-world challenges that help them transition into adulthood. The behaviors of these individuals change as the factors change around them. For every person, the experience of high school or middle school may be different. Either way, both have the same goal of wanting the student to succeed and evolve. Even so, the similarities and differences vary. Middle school and high school are alike in the areas of receiving an education, socializing with others, and having teachers while different in areas of maturity, difficulty in work, and independence.
A handful of 8th Graders are furious of the cancellation of the 8th Grade advancement. We believe that there is no reason to cancel the 8th Grade Advancement. There are numerous reasons why students here are capsized. We postulate that it has been a BTMS tradition and should not leave for the sake of us and other upcoming 8th Graders.
Middle school is very different from Elementary school. The students are beginning to change and the structure of things are very different. The students have about seven teachers that they see throughout the day. I think this is very important because each teacher, teaches differently, therefore, at least one of the seven are more likely to have a teaching style that the students like. Each teacher as their own teaching methods and a different subject that they teach. Through my field experience I was able to observe three different teacher that teach three different subjects.
‘I’m off to Club Bed featuring DJ Pillow and Mc Blanky,’ if only sleeping was this fun for everyone. Did you know with each hour of sleep we lose, there’s an increase of 58% of us attempting suicide! High School in Australia starts too early, and teenagers do not get the 9hr of sleep they need. I believe high schools should start at 10 AM, teens are at an important stage of their growth and development, because of this, we require more sleep than adults. Then, there are the expectations of older generation looming on us. In addition, without enough sleep, it can also lead to drug uses, depression, and suicide attempts. For a teenager to get up at 6 AM, is equivalent to asking an adult to get up at 4 AM. Do you want to get up at 4 AM?
As you already know, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students are clumped into elementary schools with younger grades. If we add a middle school, it could potentially make our community and school system a better place. I think it would be a beneficial investment to build two middle schools for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders Floyd County. This would help ease the kids into high school and they won’t be as stressed about leaving elementary school. Also, kids aren’t being thrown in with students they don’t already know. I know there probably isn’t a lot of money in the budget and that you wouldn’t want to waste it on a middle school. But, I would like you to at least consider this when you are discussing this with the school board.
Here are some things that I wish someone has taken the time to tell me at the beginning of my freshman year. Where to Live: You have to spend a year or two living in a HUD dorm. (aka Evans, Lewis, and Wilson) And although not technically a HUD dorm, Ferrin is also a wonderful choice for a freshman. Although these buildings may not be as flashy and offer you quite as many amenities as the newer dorms do, the camaraderie that you find there will be infinitely valuable to you during your four years. The newer dorms, Chase, Fulton, Nyland and Tavilla are wonderful for upper classmen who really need to focus on their studies. Their suite and apartment styles are really wonderful for later on when you have cemented friendships, but are not optimal
In 6th grade so far it is awesome. In 6th grade we can have our phones out at lunch in the morning when the school bell didn’t ring yet and after school when the bell rings. And so far I been keeping track of my hills bills cause now when it is starting to be the end of the school year there is a lot of more celebration and talent shows of where we have to pay hills bills. And when we want to check out a book we have to have a pass and we can only check out 2 or 1 books for every student in Jefferson. And if we want to play a game on the computers you have to pay 7 hills bills or if its Friday and you have good grades you can play and computer game for free cause it is Friday.
¨Change is very difficult, but in the end, it is worth it.¨ said Mr. John Porter. Change in a school can be very difficult, especially when people that have been there are used to the old way. But sometimes, change is good for everyone, especially when it comes to support. We need better support for school sports, in after school programs, ourselves, and most importantly, for our fellow classmates. That's only the beginning.
The start times for High and Middle school should be switched with the upper and primary. The times should be switched for the following 3 reasons. First, high schoolers need more sleep.Second, younger kids go to bed earlier than teens so they can wake up earlier. Last but not least, the high will have fewer tardies first block.
The greatest thing about going to high school is i’m one step closer to graduating, getting a job getting and a house. high school may seem scary, but once you go up there for the tour you never want to leave the school is huge.They have any activities you want to do, but some are limited until you are in tenth grade you can go to vow-tech in tenth grade it used to be ninth grade but for some reason they switched it to the tenth grade. One club involves the outdoors where you go hunting, fishing, and kayaking. Other clubs are either at school or away from school like the football and baseball team either have a game at the school or they have an away game. Other clubs like choir, band, and Rc club that involves staying at the school the Rc
So high school kids may not have it and younger brothers and sisters will have it. I think that if middle and elementary school has it but high school does not have it, it may be hard for some parents. Though sometimes I think if we have it, everyone should have it. But do you think everyone should have it? We should not have it but it wont be fair if we have it and they do
