Today, while I was substitute teaching a middle school class, a boy, named Chris, refused to get in the boy's line for the bathroom. After I had said, "Chris, what makes you think you're a girl?" in a very loud voice, one of the other students said "She is a girl." I've scarred a child for life. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

In America, middle school is also known as junior high, the two years before high school. The average kid enters middle school at age 12 and graduates at 14.

Mehness | 0

#1595283 - Sunday 24 October 2010 16:56

34 - I thought the majority of schools had gone grades 6-9. Most were like what you said a couple centuries ago... so it's normally age 11-13 or 14.

xMexicanXJesusx | 0

#1595448 - Sunday 24 October 2010 17:33

14- It's 3 years of school in where you usually go in at age (depending when you were born) 11 or 12 and then after those three years are up you go to grade 9

Middle school is normally grades 6-8, so they start at around 11 years old, and graduate at about 14.

17: I'm kinda surprised people don't realize that Michael was originally a girl's name. It was used for a female in the Bible, anyway. Do people ever pronounce it as Michelle? I like Michael much better than Michelle.

I knew a girl named Ryan once. I like that too.
