LIFE AS A STUDENT IN RICHARD MERKIN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Being a student is a fairly hard thing to put up with. For example, there are many kids who are very cocky and ignorant. There also teachers and classes and projects that are sort of difficult. School it self is very odd and uncomfortable sometimes. But there are some days that are very cool days but there is some day that you just want to ditch school, which I think every one goes through some day. Another thing that really bothers kids are the huge homework assignments that we have to do. The worst part is when you do the assignment and bring it to class, the teachers are so in hurry to make the class catch up to the other class, and forget the assignment. And when you don’t bring the assignment they remember to collect it. But Richard Merkin middle school has very good education but has too many assignments. Also the school is fairly small which has good advantages like, everyone knows everyone. You know there are some schools that the principle does not know 50% of the kids name but our principle basically knows everyone’s names. But only because it is a small school does not mean there aren’t cliques. I mean we are still having the infamous cliques that everyone tries to avoid but there is no way to avoid that. But in our school there cliques that you cant really count because there is a person that just go around and hang out with different people that aren’t in their “groups”. Which is very cool because there are other schools that don’t allow other people to talk to other people unless they’re in the group. The teachers, what can the students say about the teachers. I mean there is nothing to say except the fact that the teachers do there jobs really good. They really expect us as students to do our work and to give it our best. Teachers actually, I guess you can say, care because they talk to us privately and they encourage us to the extreme and that helps us a lot. So that is what our life is as a student at Richard Merkin middle school
