Middle school to high school is a big change. I definitely did not know what I was in for. First, the homework load in 8th grade, especially, was almost nothing. I remember that the longest I spent on homework last year was a hour and a half. As a freshman, I have much, much more homework. I really have to work on my time management and think ahead to what is due in a couple of days, and start that a couple days prior to the due date. In middle school, I could do something the night before when something big was due. Now, I cannot do that.
I’ve also learned to use my tutorials very wisely. Last year in flex, we did a little bit of work but I normally socialized. Now, I go see my teachers almost every day. I want to use my time well and I feel productive when I go see my teachers, but it’s hard a lot of the times because majority of my friends use tutorial as a socializing time, and I want to be with them. However, I have to make the mature move and go do work. It definitely pays off, though!
I agree. The homework is a lot but we have tutorial. 8th grade seems so easy now!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Hayley, the work load sometimes seems like its too much and it never ends. Using tutorials wisely is a big part of how much work you go home with. I like how you talked about "the mature move" because its true. Great job!
