A common myth about middle school that I hear the most of is that middle school students are the most rowdy, unteachable age group. I see this a lot in social media and even entertainment.

I think one of the stereotypes or myths about middle schools is coming from adults in the community. Where people would say things like, "those kids are crazy," "you couldn't pay me to do that job." I think thats disheartening to hear because some of those people are parents and is that how they parent at home?

anytime I have let someone know I am studying to be a middle level ed teacher, they automatically say "Wow! you're brace" or "good luck" as if they are terrible students to teach. Middle level students are perceived as hard to deal with and hard to teach.

One stereotype I have seen a lot is middle schoolers being described as "cringy" or "vapid" or any other negative adjective with their interests always being put down. The long, big eyeliner many middle schoolers are fond of, or anime, or wearing band t-shirts, everything that might come to mind when picturing what a middle schooler might like is often considered "bad" or "silly".

"You want to teach middle school? Good luck" A lot of people always equate middle school students with being bad or being difficult. I think this is most portrayed in movies/tv shows.

A stereotype at my middle school was that all of the students are trouble makers and can not focus in class because of their age. This stereotype comes from the few students who rebel against norms and want to find their identity. It can be challenging to find your own identity when you have pressure from the whole world to figure out who you are and want to be in middle school

A stereotype I always hear from people is that middle school is the worst because of attitudes and behaviors.

One middle school stereotype that I remember is that the teachers are really strict and mean. Of course this was never really the case, but the middle school has that image. I think media makes it that way with having the mean teachers in movies. But also middle schoolers do not always like having structure so they sometimes will make this stereotype as well.

Middle schools are basically structured as junior high schools

Children in the middle age level are often stereotyped as "trouble makers" and "hard to work with", when really they are just going through huge changes in their physical and emotional development.

That middle level students are rough to work with and often considered the "bad kids" or that Middle level is supposed to be stricter because they will be going to high school soon when really they are still in a developmental stage. Social media can be a place to hear about middle school and what the students are doing which can be good and bad.

A myth I've heard about middle schools are that they are full of students who do not work hard or lazy. It could come from different level teachers that don't work well with the age group or even friends looking into our teaching career.
