How To Survive Middle School: How to deal with homework!

    Welcome to How To Survive Middle School #2. Today we are going to be talking about homework. Now I know, I know homework sucks it's not fun and I'm sad to report that it doesn't get any easier once you reach middle school. You may have heard your teachers talk about middle school and how much different it will be and the loads of homework you will get. But I'm here to tell you the truth on all things homework. Don't worry it isn't as bad as it's made up to be.

     Number 1 thing you need to know about homework in middle school is DO YOUR HOMEWORK! it's not fun but every one you miss affects your grade in that class. In middle school they let you in on the grading more, they tell you how they grade your work and how much it affects your grade, all those 0's for homewrok will start to add up. Homework can either make or break your grade. You would be surprised how much homework can add up in the long run. The teacher's will give you the materials but you have to do something with them.
      So probably on of the main things you want to know. How much homework do you get assigned per night? Now this honestly depends on the teacher some teachers may give you 3 assignments a night while others may only give homewrok once a month. But most schools run on a block schedule which means you will have 2 nights to complete an assignment, when I came to middle school this honestly shocked me. Now your first year of middle school they will not throw 20 assignments on you all at once , they understand that you are just getting used to being in middle school. You will definitley have more homework than you had in elementary but it won't be as bad as everyone says it is.
    Another thing that you should definitley know about homework in middle school is that it doesn't matter as much. Now I'm not saying don't do your homework but if you do miss an assignment the teacher doesn't scold you for it. Most of the teachers will just mark a 0 and move on no punishments or anything like that. However that is th tricky part of middle school because the teachers won't be nagging you every second you have to turn in your homework because you want to get a good grade. Now the teachers want you to get good grades in their class but they have a 100+ kids to worry about so if one kid doesn't do their homework  they aren't going to flip.
