Seriously, multiple choice questions have answers that are so similar, it's incredibly hard to chose. Also, I feel like I've seen questions on tests that aren't stated in the reading material or notes/discussions in class.]]> 2016-11-08 01:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/135974339 https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136159209 Contrary to what many teachers will say to coax you into doing as many activities (their activities) as possible, there is such a thing as too much. Trust me you will not be able to take orchestra, band, show choir, AP, two science classes, all honors, plus a ton of other extracurricular like sports while still maintaining your sanity. You will have homework everyday in basically all your classes. You will spend hours doing it. Expect at least 3 tests/quizzes weekly, at least 5 if you're taking all honors or AP classes. The severe jump in work load was a shock to say the least as no teachers had prepared us for it in middle school.]]> 2016-11-08 17:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136159209 https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136170027 Teachers leave the responsibility of studying up to you, they don't get on your back and don't track you down for your work. They just give you zeros. It wasn't the "hardest" part of the transition, but it was defenitely a change.]]> 2016-11-08 17:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136170027 https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136178297 You just do]]> 2016-11-08 17:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136178297 https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136270285 No matter what teachers in middle schools say "I am just trying to act like a high school teacher will", they aren't. They are still being way nicer and more laid back on everything. Don't ever think you can turn things in late and get an 80% on it because most likely you will receive a 0.]]> 2016-11-09 00:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136270285 https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136291168 last year teachers use to say in high school if you dont turn in your homework you get a zero until you turn it in you wont get full credits and the teachers wont chase you down until you turn it in.
Im middle school the reason we use to turn in our homework on time is because if you dont you have to stay after school ,i thought thats not such a great idea because in high school you dont have to stay after school so we think not doing our homework is not a big deal until we dont see our report card.]]> 2016-11-09 03:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mdedmundson/3ivmi6mm9gnj/wish/136291168
