Reasons High School is Better Than Elementary School

Like most of the lists I will be doing on here, this is subject to my personal opinion on why I think high school is better than elementary school.
The Top Ten
1 The years in high school are divided into 2 semesters so you don’t have to stress about 8 classes.

I had 8 classes all year round in elementary and 4 per semester in high school.

2 You can pick your course level.

You have 4 course levels to choose from: Open, Locally Developed, Applied and Academic.

I don't get to pick.

3 You get more time off.

Depending on if you have an exam that day, you either only have to go for about an hour and a half or you don’t even have to go at all.

4 You’re not stuck with the same classmates and teachers in the same classroom all day.

finally gonna be back with my old classmates I remember and no longer have the same teachers who give out worksheets related to kindergarten, Logan Kettelkamp will be in 8th grade and others will help him enough and he'll no longer be in a mess being okay with diapers if he gets older.

Unlike in elementary school, you don’t have to sit in the same classroom all day. This gives you a chance to move around between periods after a long time of sitting, and if there is a teacher or classmates you don’t like in one class, the chances of them being in more than maybe 2 of your classes are fairly slim.

@Ihateschool-I was in special ed in high school and I wasn’t stuck with the same teacher and classmates in the same classroom all day. Guess I was lucky.

5 You start to get an idea of who your true friends really are.

High school is usually where everyone starts to show their true colours or look for new friend groups, but there are also many that will still be there for you forever.

6 Fewer compulsory courses (classes you have to take) as you go along.

I think it depends on where you live, but here, English is the only class you have to take all 4 years.

7 More electives (optional classes) to choose from as you go along.

The more compulsory courses you complete, the more room for classes you want to take.

8 Smaller age group.

In some places, you graduate from elementary school in grade 5-6 and others you don’t graduate until grade 8, but either way, I think it’s nice that the age gap in high school is a bit smaller because I never really liked going to school with people so many years older or younger.

9 Many clubs and activities to choose from.
10 If you don’t like a teacher, chances are you will only have him/her for 1 semester instead of a full year like in elementary school.
The Contenders
11 You don't have to obey stupid and pointless rules, such as lining up and writing in cursive.

True but high school has a totally different set of rules such as type 5 page essays and you have 5 minutes to go to class. You still have to line up when you’re in the cafeteria.

12 No more assigned lunch tables
13 You'll have multiple classes and won't be stuck with your class and not be able to see your friends if your friends aren't in your homeroom
14 You can eat in class and get away with it
15 You get to go to amusement parks to do math and science experiments
16 Ceramics in art class
17 You sing Broadway songs instead of baby songs during choir
