In many schools today‚ standardized testing is becoming more of a problem. It is now said‚ from a survey conducted by George Washington University‚ that eighty one percent of public school teachers believe that their students spend too much time taking tests required by the state or district.

High school is a place totally different from Middle school. High school is a place where it would be the best or worst four years of your life‚ and maybe change who you are.

I know that I will have to take different classes and that I will have lunch with all of the other grades‚ and in tenth grade I can start going off campus for lunch. The amount of work tends to be the same‚ according to my high school friends. There is another difference‚ which is there is no recess. There are only seven classes‚ and then seminar
