School survival

If you think 6th grade was boring, then try 7th grade. Its fun, but it has a lot of rules. One rule is the tardy rule. In 6th grade you just get warnings but now you have to sign a tardy sheet. If you keep being late you get a lunch detention. Also another rule is about chewing gum. If you chew gum you will get a warning. Then a reflection sheet, then a referral and then you move on to after school. Let me tell you about lunch. You 6th graders eat earlier in the day at 11:36. Now in 7th grade you eat lunch at 12:19. Also we have this thing called a reflection room. If you get in trouble a lot you get a yellow reflection sheet by that teacher. Then you go to the front of the lunch line. Then you go in the 1st lunch line and fill out a reflection sheet. Show an adult and if they approve it then you can go out to recess. If they don’t approve it then you have to keep doing it until they approve it. You can sit anywhere unless you misbehave. Then you sit in home base sitting. Also you have a snack line. If you don’t listen you don’t get a snack. Also you get fun field trips. The field trip we went to was the Baltimore Aquarium. We went to see a dolphin show and a 4D show. The 4D show was so fun. You get squirted with water and other stuff. I’m not going to tell you everything because you should see it for yourself. Also the dolphin show was fun. We watch the dolphins do tricks and learn a little bit of facts. I’m also not going to tell you because you should go see it. The drama in 7th grade kind of happens a lot. My advice for you is to stay out of it, unless you like rumors. If you don’t like going to the office a lot or getting your parents involved then stay out of it. Also in 7th grade you need to stay out of trouble. Don’t talk back to the teachers or you will either get a referral or a reflection sheet. Also if you get lucky you will just get a warning but not always.
