Schools: What They Are
When You Walk In
Some kids walk, ride the bus or ride their bikes to get to school as shown in the picture below.
Once you get to school any kid can point out the principal's office,(because almost all of them have been there at least once).
If you arrive just after the busses have dropped off the students, it will be home room, which is where the students keep their belongings in lockers.

The Students
Most kids in school are dissapointed about having to get up in the morning just to got to "school" , but if there is good food lunch is probably their favorite period of the day. Every kids schedule is not the same. Large Schools have 5-6 different classes for each grade, smaller schools only have 1-2 classes for each grade.
With all of these different classes they have different periods for different teachers.
A middle school has students from the age of 10-15 years old.
The Classes
The basic classes that most kids take are: science, math, reading, social studies, and English.
In math, kids go into class, the teacher assigns the kids work after they teach the lesson.
Most kids have home work every night unless they get done with their work in class. Some kids are known for not doing their homework, which gives them a bad grade in school. If Kids get to many bad grades in school they can fail, and have to be in the same grade again until they bring their grade up high enough to pass the classes so that they can pass the grade.
