I'm only on day 90 of school this year, and it's almost April. I'm like 35 days behind and I don't understand it. The reading is so long and has like 20 nonsense words in a sentence, and I find it so hard to pay attention. I'm homeschooled and in 7th grade right now, but it's so difficult. All of these problems seems normal for high schoolers maybe even those in college, but don't forget seventh graders are new teens and usually didn't have this. I know teachers try to balance the work they give us, although at the end its just to much. It also sucked for some of the students like myself that had after school activities. its just homework, then IF you have time STUDY cause we had quizzes, pop quizzes daily. You never really have time to lay down and watch T.V. I know every school is different, my friend in another school didn't have the same problems but I did. In 7th grade however, if your not paying attention for 3 minutes, there goes your grade. Usually in school you learn something new, although you repeat the subject many times till you understand it or teachers come back to it. I'm a straight A student and for whatever reason this year was the hardest for me to keep up my grade. I currently am in 7th grade, (almost done) but it has been the hardest grade so far.

Good Luck 6th graders who are going to 7th grade! The teachers make everything seem easy when they really just want to sit on you. You then become depressed and stressed out, your probably also going through puberty at this point. They don't grade anything either to make life worse. The work becomes a lot harder and they expect you to do it in little time. To make things worse, the teachers that you liked last year became worse and the bad teachers get even worse. Over the summer some drama starts and carries on into 7th grade. I am currently in 7th grade, they spoon feed you and act like middle school is going to be easy in 6th grade. Plus, there are also after-school sports and clubs, which makes it practically. 7th grade causes a lot of stress and anxiety to most students - mainly because we stay working until 1 am and have to wake up again by 6. It's mostly because of hormones probably but I can't really say anything since I haven't had mine yet. And then there's the hard truth that all middle schoolers are really horrible so it's hard to find friends. Teachers never graded until semesters ended which made it really frustrating. We already had tests by the second week of school and an average of at least 4 tests per week after that. There was basically nothing to do all day so you just had a lot of time. 6th grade was super easy - mainly because of the pandemic. In my district, 7th and 8th grade is considered middle school/junior high and 6th grade is the last year of elementary. I'm 13 and almost done with 7th grade, and all I can say is that it is really a big step up. This makes 11th grade harder than 12th because generally by 12th grade, you should have already gotten into the college you wanted to. Grade drop of over 35%ġ1th grade has to be the hardest grade because it is what determines your class rank when you graduate and your ACT and SAT scores start to become recognized, as well as colleges looking at your grades before admission. Had 80's, and 90's in science until this year.

It's the worse year because of pressure academically: socially, and mentally.ĭoing Grade 11 in 4 quarters in the middle of a pandemic. It's also when you're almost an adult, but you still have to deal with being treated as a teenager who thinks they know everything but are actually too dumb to function. Socially it's atrocious because all the students of your class are either suffering early senioritis or disgustingly stressed and competitive. Stress for college starts picking up and you have to recover from all of you past mistakes throughout high school. Hard thing about being a junior is that all the teachers put a bunch more expectations on you and say you're a junior now and not only that but college is looming which makes it extra stressful. I only had one really hard class but my other classes weren't too bad I didn't join math class even though Lara was a lot of noisy and annoying people in that class I like the teacher. Socially it's really hard ache and I don't know why because freshman and sophomore year seemed easy social wise. 11th grade is the worst year of high school.
