Top Ten Reasons High School is Better Than Middle School

Ok, so at my middle school, we got to pick classes, but my gosh, it was so limited they might as well just put you in a random one. I finally got much more independence over what classes I took in high school, both academically and for electives.

My middle school didn't even have computer classes of any sort (which is rare to see now, so it gives you an idea of how poor the school was).

In my middle school, I couldn't even take a language class aside from the one they forced everyone to do. Now I can go all the way up to French 4 if I want. Besides, I can actually join advanced classes now, which weren't a thing back at my middle school for whatever reason.

I wasn't really looking forward to another middle school merging with us, but the other middle school was actually way nicer than the one I was in.

My friend at church, Lydia, is about 15 and in the 9th grade, and she said people are nice.

There are fewer than 300 kids at my school, but in high school, there are many groups to choose from.

That includes pizza and chicken nuggets.

The food at my school is delicious, really cheap, and just AMAZING.

There are so many strict rules in middle school, but high school is much better.

Yes, it shows how the whole system is maturing.

In my old high school, chewing gum is allowed.

True. People usually start maturing either in late middle school or high school. The horrible years are 5th, 6th, and 7th, and maybe a bit of 8th.

It honestly depends on the kids there and the school itself.

In elementary school, everyone had so little freedom. We were stoked to go to middle school, but then I was disappointed. We were kind of "babied" and not treated like we deserved anything whatsoever.

High school, however, allows you to do so much more than sit in an assigned class. You have the ability to choose classes (in some cases), and lunch is more laid back!

Only for juniors and seniors if you had good grades and good behavior.

WHAT?! In that case, I already love high school!

I'm in middle school, and this sounds like what I need. No one actually pays attention to the assemblies in my school, and this would get our interest.
