In n the he w wor ords of of stu tudents ts ~I'm challenged more as a sixth grader in a middle school because they expect more. ~You get more responsibility, more independence. ~In an elementary school, being in the same classroom for hours on end isn't good for me. I like moving and having passing period. I like switching around and being with different people.
