Oops..Pardon the Pun..or Not...

It is a difficult age group, and they never change. Until you come to terms with that, it will drive you crazy. Eventually, MS students move on to high school and things get better. But, as long as there are middle school students, life is drama.

 

Perhaps things get better in high-school, especially by junior year, when they begin to realize they have futures ahead of them so they'd begtter crank up on their PSAT's. Oh, and there's Driver Ed., too.

 

@Jayaruh and @richgem When did it become Middle School?
I went to Jr. High - 7th & 8th grade.

 

Now that classic(IMO)Oldie "The Pied Piper" won't ever sound the same, lol.

 

I went to junior high in Texas, grades 6-8. Now they call it middle school here, although it's still grades 6-8.

 

Maybe its an east coast thing?

 

I split time between Verona, NY and Limestone, ME. *shrug* such is the life of an AF brat.

 

I went to Jr. High (7-9th) in Texas in the early 60s. I think in 1966 they moved 9th grade to high school and 6th up to what they called Junior School at the time. I don't know when they started calling it middle school. The school I taught at was built in 1972 and it was designated a middle school then.

 

In Canada they used to..simply call it elementary school..my dear Watson..

 

At the end of 9th grade we even had a graduation ceremony very similar to high school.

 

we now return you to our regularly scheduled puns.

 

When I taught, we called it Mental School.

 

One more...

 

Watson was the man needed by Al Bell(the latter of whom was working on inventing the telephone)....oh all right, Alexander Graham Bell

 

That was a Gouda one!

 

I thought it was cheesy.

 

That protest is specious and full of holes.

 

Two kittens were trying to cross a river.... one was named "one,two,three" and the other "un,deux,trois"....

only the former made it across... the un deux trois cat sank.
