School Organization

The school that I attended was Wabasso Public High School. I attended this school from pre-school until 12th grade. Starting with pre-school we had the option of going full days or half days. My mom decided to have me go for only half days in pre-school. In Kindergarten all the students attending for full days. Throughout elementary we only had one class for each grade so I was always with the same classmates. Wabasso considered k-6 to be elementary, 7th & 8th grade was junior high, and 9th-12th grade was high school. Once we were in 7th grade the students from the catholic school joined our class so we then had two sections instead of just one. Wabasso also followed a traditional school year. Class started at 8 and ended at about 3, this gave students a lot of time for extra activities after school, like sports. My school also had the three months in summer off. Since that's all I grew up with it's really hard for me to imagine what it would be like to have school all year. I'm not sure if I would really like that because I know the summer is when I made a lot of memories with my friends since we were all off in the summers. The only thing that I think would really be nice about school all year is that students would maybe remember the material better if they didn't have such a big break in between.
