im in high school, just started 10th grade, i hate it so much here, everything feels so different and so stuffy.
i dread going to school, its getting stuffy, and i dont feel like they give me enough options .
& i want to feel more independent, and not travel with the same people, same students, to one class and the other. basically my school’s like middle school, but without the homeroom and stuff.
I dont feel dependent, i have to follow other people to classes, i want my own schedule, go to a REAL high school .

Yeah

I ask this because it doesn’t help anybody really
it makes kids more tired, which makes them do worse in school, which makes the schools average test scores go down which cuts the funding and cuts the pay of teachers eventually, so why dont they just start it later like they did in elementary school?

My high school starts at 8:30.
Sucks for you, it’s already a pain for me to wake up at 7..you have a point there.

I live in Ashburn Va and my friend said that we might be getting a football team for our Middle Schools
Is that true

No, no football and recess has been slashed. Sucks to be you.

Do high schools get more electives than middle schools? Do you think kids with more electives have a more positive attitude and behavior with more electives?

Yes because high school that they having a lots of students whose having to taking up an electives in these subjects and I think this is a part our school activities to having an electives than the middle schools because they some high school to showing of their interest when they taking up the some courses for the taking up when they to enrolled this coming college

Junior?

please do a web search on Kingston and look through the online yellowpages for jamaica. the information is too much to list all the numerous schools.

I made a petition so that my middle school could maybe have soccer as a school sport, but I realized that if there are no other teams to play against that it would not work out.

Realize this in Texas no one honestly cares about soccer. This is becoming a trend in America. Texas is all about Football. So quite honestly your petition is…… not really gonna work out. I am a renowned hater of soccer but I am not dissing soccer, I am telling you the truth. Can’t do it
I would also enjoy adding the MLS cup had 560,000 viewers. The Super Bowl 150 Million.

My husband got a job teaching in Maryland and my daughter is off to middle shcool.She wants to know if the schools are unified.
Please help.

Some are, some aren’t.

Lately it seems that more and more school districts are moving sixth graders out of their neighborhood elementary schools and into larger middle schools. The main reasoning I’ve heard about this push is that middle schools are more "developmentally appropriate" for students. I did a research paper for a class a while back on the benefits of K-8 schools, and several school districts that have switched to K-8 schools have found that when students are kept in their elementary schools longer, there is higher academic achievement, fewer behavior problems, and higher self- esteem among those students. This completely contradicts the idea of a middle school. I say, as long as an elementary school can provide the same opportunities that most middle schools afford children, it is more "developmentally appropriate" for them to remain in elementary schools (at least through the sixth grade). Does anyone else have an opinion on the 6-8 middle school?

Having taught in both settings, I would say I prefer K-8 myself. In a K-6 school, sixth graders get the big ego because they’re the at the "top" and tend to get really obnoxious. (I’ve seen a big drop in grades, too.) They start to get too obsessed with "growing up" and definitely get an attitude much earlier.
The sixth graders, at the K-8 school I was at, knew they weren’t IT and tended to be a bit more reserved and focused on academics rather than social status. Although the eighth graders were IT in that setting, they had a bit more maturity and could still focus on their studies since they tended to be more concerned about their success in high school.
On a more serious note, the academic switch for seventh graders having left a K-6 setting can be a major shock and I find can really hurt their academics. If they are struggling students to begin with, staying in a K-8 setting allows for a more consistant quality of help and support since they aren’t "new" to a particular school; the teachers know them already and know what to do to help. Unfortunately, they tend to fall into the cracks going to a separate mid-school.
Comparitively? As a teacher, I’d rather deal with a K-8 eighth grader than a K-6 sixth grader. LOL

Just my two cents…

I’ve seen schools that combine elementary and middle school (K-8th grade) and pre-school and elementary school, but I’ve not yet seen one that combines middle and high school. Do they exist? Like a school that goes from 6th-12th grade? Public or private?

Yes, in Orange County, CA there is a school called Oxford Academy that is from 7-12th grade. It is a public magnet school.
