How To survive middle school: Where to sit in the classroom

     Now on the first day of school when you walk into the new classroom you'll often ask yourself this question: Where should I sit? Now given the fact that in elementary school you usually or always had an assigned seat and if you didn't sit in it everyone noticed. Now that you're in middle school and  have the freedom to pick your own seat how do you deal with that power?

     When you first walk into the class you have to figure out what you want, do you want to be the teacher's pet and sit right next to their desk, or be the social butterfly and sit in the back corner. Once you have figured that out it is relatively easy to pick a seat but of course nothing in middle school will be that easy. People will get to the class before you and already selected a seat, you have to work around that.

      Now don't dash down the hall to be the first in the classroom as long as your not dead last you will be fine and most of the time not all of the desks are filled in a classroom anyways If being the social butterfly is on your agenda and the whole back row is take the move up a row. Now I personally like sitting in the middle because one day if you decide you're in a chatty mood and need to talk you can and when you want to seriously crack down and pay attention you can do that too.

     But that decision is completely up to you. Now don't get your hopes to far up because if the teacher sees you talking to much they WILL move you. In elementary the teacher would threaten to move you day in and day out but if they have to warn you more than probably 3 times they are not afraid to move you.

   And the decision may not be up to you and I know what you thinking well this whole article is about having the freedom to pick your own seat. However some teachers will let you sit where you want for the first week or so to see who you talk to and then give you assigned seats. And many will leave that decision up to the students if you get to loud the next class they might havea new seating chart.
