Reflection(this is for KIPP academy middle school!)
This year was alright but i mean it Could have been a whole lot a Better!!! not that we want ot offend the teachers but the rules wernt very fair and they should let us show our opinions and our voice more because they just make decisions for us and most of the time they dont even ask for our opinions! were just bein honest here cuz thats what the 7th grade teacheres taught us! but we do love the the trips and everything BUT we dont think wev been treated very fairly! The teachers should give us more time to eat lunch and they should let us prove our point if we get in trouble, they should let us tell our side of the story! it isnt fair that the teachers make such a big deal out of everything and dont even ask our side of the story! Another thing about 7th grade was that it was boring and we never got to do anything fun with our teammates. But sometimes we did fun things like the marshmellow fights and the Texas trip, but that's IT! Another thing: We barley learned any good life lessons this year so that is why we are "turning into 8th graders"! STOP BLAMING US!but over all the teachers were kind of nice and they DID teach us some things! this year is one to DEFINETELY remember for the rest of our lives!
