My high school experience has been okay so far. It is not much different from middle school aside from walking between buildings. I thought high school was supposed to be much harder than middle school but it is about the same for me. The teachers are pretty nice, although I have caught some of them swearing under their breath. I really like how we are not treated as if we are babies anymore; it feels like we have a little bit more freedom with choosing our classes and also have more independent learning.

I also thought that high school would be at least a little bit more challenging compared to middle school. It turned out that it is not that much different in my perspective.

I also agree, the first semester was fairly easy. We have much more freedom and more respect. I know personally i felt disrespect and as if i wasn't anyone but another face in a crowd in middle school, so it feels good to feel like a adult in some forms.

I agree that it's very much like middle school besides there is two buildings. The only thing i find different is homework.

My High school expectations were different then I thought. The 9th grade center is a little stricter than I thought it would be. There is skit of nice teachers and having some strict teachers are good too. The material the students learn in class and pretty easy. I'm having a lot of fun in the 9th grade center

I agree with you a lot on how much freedom we have and how everything we do is more independent for us.

High school has been fine over first quarter. First, there are fun teachers and classes. Also, it has been easy to get good grades. However, I get a lot more homework than I have any other year. In conclusion, I have liked high school so far and I hope to keep it that way.

During high school so far, my experience has been overall okay. This year, I did not stress as much as I usually do. Plus, my grades are exactly where I want them to be. For example, instead of getting mostly B’s for final quarter and/or semester grades, I got A’s instead. During second semester, I hope to be able to have more opportunities to independently read. Also, I would like to be more productive, such as having the class focused on learning instead of steering towards talking and goofing around. I would be very excited if second semester was better than the first semester.

I like what your saying in your paragraph. I also greatly agree with you in some forms. I agree in the way that I would also like to be more productive.

I also have gotten lots of A's this quarter and hope to have a better second semester. More productive classes would definitely be nice too

Yeah, I would also really like to improve during second semester. I have done pretty good so far, but It would be great if I did even better near the end of the year. I usually tend to lose focus when we get closer to summer.

l would like to be more productive in class as well, usually I would totally zone out and miss what Mr. Herms has said. So I hope this semester I can pay more attention to his lessons because whatever he says is always important, even if he's making a sarcastic comment!

My high school experience has been very invigorating in some ways. The teachers are nicer and more understanding than expected. I have usually have trouble with things and these teachers help me. They are willing to help in any way possible. Most students are very nice and welcoming. I was quite excited to start high school because in reality it was the beginning of my life. High school sets me up for the rest of my life and I'm happy to pick a school like Chippewa Valley. There are so many extra curricular activities for me to pursue in for future college applications.

I agree, the students are very welcoming here. I am always hearing about schools where the students are rude, like Fraser or Hazel park. Then again, I have never been to any other school district to witness this first hand. I have always been in the Chippewa valley school system and I have found that most students are friendly and welcoming.

It's true the students are very kind and there is a very little amount of bullies in our school.

My high school experience has been a learning experience. Before I thought high school would be a breeze, especially the 9th grade. But, I've noticed that I spend more time studying and doing homework than I had to before. I've had to pay attention more so I could understand what we're doing. There's no easy ways to getting work done. This what my high school learning experience has been lkke

As long as you try you should be fine. During the past few years I almost never studied, but this year I pretty much studied twenty-four seven.

My high school experience so far has been great. All my friends who are a grade ahead of me always say, "Oh high school is so hard you won't pass!" but i knew they were kidding. I was taught by my friends that all the teachers are horrible, but when i really got here i found that only a few are cringe worthy. I don't get as much homework as i expected; i usually only get about 30-40 minutes each day. So far high school has been easy and it's going by really fast.

My high school experience so far has been a challenging one. I had to try and make friends considering that I came to the Chippewa Valley school district during mid 8th grade year. But, other than that, I have had a great time as a Big Red and hope to continue my journey through high school.

My high school year was not what I thought it would be. The teacher where not as mean as I was told and many of the people in my class I didn't even know. So to say shortly it was a whole new ballpark.

My high school experience has been the nearly the same as my middle school years so far. This semester I plan to have fun experiences in the class. I hope to learn many new things. I hope to communicate more and engage in classroom activities. Succeeding in the class is my main focus as I hope to finish with an “A.”

My high school experience so far has been very different compared to what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be the scariest place I've ever went to but it wasn't all that bad. At first it was crazy but after around three weeks I got used to it. After I got used to it, it was just like a regular thing for me. It was a bit different going into second semester with new people in new classes. I thought it was awkward because I don't really know everyone in my new classes, I'm sure it will end up just like first semester and how awkward that was. Overall high school is alright and kind of annoying with all the homework, which takes up almost all my afternoon but it's okay.

I agree second semester was a bit ruff. Also for me going into high school I was scared just like you, i thought it was going to be confusing and a lot to handle. After you get used to it, it is almost like middle school again.

My high school experience has been a blast so far. I have made a lot of new friends. The only thing I would find different then middle school is that the homework is a lot harder, there is two buildings now, and many more halls to figure out. going into second semester was hard because I really didn't have many people that I knew in my classes. I guess it is a good thing cause I get to meet new people. Over all high school has been great.

I think my high school career has been good so far. I think I can only make it better though by improving my grades and also my school study habits. I need to focus on my school work and also my attitude in the classroom. Really my only problems in high school are my own fault. That's

My high school experience so far has been okay. 9th grade is definitely different than 8th grade but the only stressful thing is having the get up so early and big tests. My main focus for English class is to focus more on my work and try not to get distracted so easily.
