Middle school and junior high school are levels of schooling that act as a sort of bridge between elementary and high schools. Most school systems use one term or the other, not both; furthermore, the terms are not usually interchangeable. In Chinese culture, especially China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, middle school is a synonym for secondary school.

The term junior high dates to 1909 with the founding of Indianola Junior High School in Columbus, Ohio. The term middle school dates to 1950 in Bay City, Michigan.

A. School hours do not change based on region in Japan. Japan has unified education in the entire nation. Usually schools start around 8am and kids leave around 2pm. So they stay at school about 6 hours.

How is middle school and high school different when it comes to drama?
Q. Our middle school had so much drama in it. If you sat with the preps, they would pretty much glare at you till you left. And thats just small stuff. So interms of drama in high school is it different? or is it the same? Im a freshman this year, so i was mostly curious I have heard the school im going to is way more laid back then my midddle school, but thats just with its rules.

A. I go to a performing arts high school, so pretty much all the drama is stuff like fighting over parts in upcoming shows and like being competitive. But in regular high schools, it's more like who's the latest 16 year old to get pregnant, what drugs you took in the last weekend, why you got kicked out of your house. But not everyone's like that.

How can we bring back middle school sports?
Q. Due to the recession, our middle school will be cutting out all middle school sports next year. My school is a very athletic school, and most things are sports centered and sports related. Without them, school won't be as fun or interesting, and many of the things we normally do won't happen because without the sports, there will be no reason to have them (Pep rallies, for example). What can we do to convince the state or school system to bring back our middle school sports?

A. start a petition. make a page that explains why you should have sports and get a LOT of people to sign it. explain on the page about why you think sports benefits you. if you get enough people to sign it im pretty sure they would reconsider getting rid of all sports. good luck!
