How is it‘ Bad’?

Although middle school has numerous positive aspects, it still has some negative ones, such as harder learning material. Homework takes longer, and the tests and classwork are harder, and basically everything just becomes more stressful. However, you could overcome it by staying organized, managing time well, keeping phones away from you, and preview / reviewing lessons, etc. Remember the beneficial“ independence and responsibility” you could gain through middle school I told you earlier? Well, that could actually be a negative aspect. If you don’ t know the school well, you might end up getting lost, and almost no one can help you as soon as the bell rings. You also might carry a ton of books in your backpack, because going to the lockers on the 3rd floor during the passing time is going to take a long time if you don’ t know which rooms you have to go to. To not get lost, you could take a tour of your school ahead of time, then map out the fastest routes from class to class.

“ The biggest challenge I faced in middle school was the huge amount of homework. However, I conquered it by practicing at home and getting used to the workload”
