Middle Schooler's Perspective

For today's post on The Teaching Voice of Mrs. Boyce, I've invited a seventh grade student, Lev Guirel, to share his thoughts on Middle School, in general. I hope you'll enjoy reading his remarks: Middle School is a place that is filled with drama, excitement and also stress. Middle School can be stressful sometimes because there can be times when there are tests, quizzes, and many more stressful activities, but don't forget it can also be very exciting. Sometimes you can enjoy spending time with your friends, having fun in classes, and doing interesting activities as groups or as a class. Middle School is also very often filled with drama. Lots of rumors could often spread, and Middle School is a place where kids spend a lot of time. That means that if some bad rumor spreads through the school, the child might get stressed and might have trouble learning. It is proven that when you are under stress, it is harder to study, and memorize and learn information. This means that school is not just a place where students learn, but its also a place where a lot of teenagers experience their first teenage years.
