Okay so you people enter junior high in three days. I’m sure your past sixth grade teachers told you some stuff about what you need to know for junior high. I bet they just told you to listen in all your classes, that teachers aren’t going to help you as much, and that you 're going to actually have to study for all your tests and quizzes. While all of that may be true, they are not giving you the proper advice to survive in junior high. In the next five minutes, I will be giving you all the tips and survival methods you’ll need for junior high.

Kendzicky you’d be able to talk in her class, but really the only time you 're allowed to talk is before her class because you NEED to pay attention to what she’s saying when she’s teaching. She only goes over everything once and you have to know it. When it comes to Mrs. Boles you 're better off not talking or doing anything “risky”
