I’m wrapping up my 7th grade year, and I am writing about what I’ve learned through my second year of middle school that may help others just entering the environment. I’d like to make this post again in another year (my last middle school year, 8th grade) and talk about other things I’ve learned.
1. Find an effective way to take notes.
I’ve found that bringing my MacBook to class. Taking notes on that machine works well for my friends and me because I print notes for them, and they print them for me.
2. Take advantage of the friendliness of teachers on the first few days of school
Go to class a bit late, enjoy your morning, as the teachers are going to be very understanding when you’re new to the school. Just don’t keep it up!
3. Get grade reports monthly
Teachers at my school generally give grade reports to students monthly (not report cards, but grade reports) for students to see their average and how they’re doing. This probably isn’t the case at other schools, but your teachers should always be approachable.
1) You go to a private school, right? Most schools do not allow their students to bring laptops to school. Keep that in mind when you post something like this next year.
2) Not entirely, be wary of people who have extremely strict teachers who expect promptness on the first day of school.
3) I fully agree
1/3 can actually be fulfilled no matter where you are, keep in mind that this is the WORLD WIDE WEB, therefore anyone can see it, and most people will file this as crap because most of the time these things can’t be done. I suggest you create a new one in order to fit the average school person who wants to succeed.
