When I was eight years old, I dreamed of going to middle school. I watched my older brother swagger out of the middle school doors
every afternoon and secretly wished I could be in such a cool place.
Now that I'm in seventh grade, I have changed my wish. I long for the
simplicity of elementary school.
In elementary school, I had one teacher. My typical middle school day
brings me face-to-face with six teachers! One is my PE teacher, who
constantly teaches us the rules of different sports - gone are the days
of PE classes filled with running around, fun games, and freedom. In
addition, each of my five other teachers assigns homework, which
means a seriously heavy backpack to carry home every afternoon. My
elementary teacher sent home only a single folder with homework
each day. Oh, to be eight years old again!
