First Reason: Updates!
Compared to the middle school, the high school has been modernized. Now, with the new construction, and the fact that it is a whole new school. I can say, however, because I am a freshie freshman that the old middle school sucked. A lot. All the walls were either white or red brick, the windows were very limited for whatever reason, and the layout was about as good as 90% of the newer horror movies. I remember almost being late every day because the hallways were pretty slim, and everyone walked slowly as if they didn’t care about anything. Sidenote: the hallways were just super small and congested with traffic. The lockers were also bad. There was an extremely long hallway lined with blue paint-peeling lockers that you could barely get your backpack into. They were also about a foot shorter, so you had less space to put your stuff in.
Second Reason: Teachers
The teachers here at the high School are more lenient in the classroom than the ones in the middle school. Here, at the high School, they are much more interactive with the students, as far as I am aware, and allow for more jokes and laughter in class, where someone could make an appropriate joke, relatively speaking, and the teacher wouldn’t yell at the student (but there are some exceptions) and they generally interact more with the student. However, the other teachers were fine. A couple of them were probably the closest that came to a high School teacher in the entirety of the school, because they were nice and got along well with their classes, for the most part. However, the rest of them were still pretty “meh.” Not that they were bad, but, for me, the high School teachers are more open and accepting than the middle school ones.
Third Reason: Policies
High school is much more relaxed on policies than the middle school because you had to bring in a clear bottle filled ONLY with water and nothing else. Another one was that if you swore, you would probably be reported. And the lunch room was weird. You had to be sitting down to leave, you couldn’t hang out by the door, no getting seconds. However, the lunch room at the high School is much better, because you can do all of the things mentioned above.
Fourth Reason: Classrooms (teachers continued, I guess)
So, as far as how the teachers acted overall, they were… okay. For the middle school. However, here, I know that they let you listen to music more than at the middle school. Or it changed. I don’t know. But the teachers here at the high School are more lenient when it comes to music, when you can listen to, where, et cetera. They also typically don’t threaten with being sent down to the office as often. Or maybe it’s the fact that middle school was just worse in behavior. I don’t know.
Overall, high school is better than middle school. Not just because there are more freedoms, but because the layout and flow was so much better. Middle school was still pretty nice, but high school is way better.
