As I think about it now, I feel like I missed out on something in middle school. Missed out on opportunities maybe. The first school I went to only had kindergarten to grade 6. I had to go to a different school for grade 7 and 8. Now that the other school that fed into the school I went to for grade 7 and 8 also has grade 7 and 8 I feel like the students from my school miss out on things.
It was weird going to a different school that had students who had been there since kindergarten. You felt like an outsider even in your own school. Especially when the students who had been there all along talked about teachers they had and people they knew.
By missing out I mean like the special opportunities given to some students. Many of them went to those who had been at the school for their kindergarten to grade 6 years, becuase they already knew the teachers from being around. Even though they tried to keep the grade 7s and 8s separate from the rest of the school to give them that "middle school experience", there were some things that were shared by all. We had computer classes with the same teachers for example.
I don't know. Looking back I just feel like maybe I would have enjoyed middle school more if I didn't feel like an outsider in my own school.
