stay away from 9th
By j

Clip to ScrapBook   
Many 9th graders have a difficult time making the transition from grades 8 to 9. Middle schools are neatly arranged in families/wings where they are close to their other classes and bathroom. High schools are too spread out. I love grades 11 and 12. But NO MORE NINETH GRADERS FOR ME! All they talk about is sex. Behavior problems escalate because they are waiting for age 16 to drop out. 9th graders have smart mouths! And principals that observe you may not have taught this horrible age!My nerves are still shot and I am a middle aged man!! I have suffered insomnia and ulcers. Block scheduling makes it worse. And these "high standards" principals that criticize without supporting you makes it worse!
