Well to me the work wasn't harder, it's just the kids get dumber. A LOT dumber. A star basketball player from middle school has started smoking (actually he's well into it now) and he couldn't try out this year, kids play the pass-out game in study hall when they're overly bored and more people get in your way. I really wish I was back in middle school but to me the subjects are much easier.

It depends on the quality of the high school.  There are bad public schools and bad private schools, and the opposite is true.  They universities understand there are different high school qualities.

Average time would be 4 to 5 years after high school.  Faster than that would be very difficult unless you are a super student and devote all your time to it and have no other life.

Middle school is challenging in so many ways.  \nOf course, academically, there is more required and expected of middle school students than what was required in the earlier grades. Students can deal with more complex thinking at this age in math, philosophy, science, and the languages.\nThere is more preparation and time required at home for homework assignments, and longer term assignments, too, so students have to begin to be able to explore time management to be successful.  Organization will become more of a priority at the middle school level.  There is also the sense of preparing oneself for high school level, where the grades count and everything is viewed with an eye to the future.\nBut the larger challenge is social  - some people have a difficult time feeling like they fit in, since peer groups are so important at this age.  Add to this the physical development of puberty's arrival, with its attendent hormonal moodiness and internal voice constantly questioning "am I normal?" ,  "who am I?", "what is important to me?", and you've got some major issues to handle.  \nIt's a time of growing up, shifting of priorities, being able to handle more complex topics, and finding oneself.\nSo I would say it is challenging, but also exhilarating time that will make a lifelong impression.

id say it was a tie between peers and being a sophomore.\n sophomore is the hardest year for anyone. Freshman yearm they take it easy on you, becaus ethey know you arent used to all the work. But sophomore year, they pour it on. Then junior year, you are used to it from sophomore year . Senior year is just a breeze.\nPeers were terrible in Senior year. They all want to know what you are oding teh following year and why you are going there instead of this other place and if youll be in touch, etc etc. You make the old " we'll call every week" pact, and it doesnt even last a month. \n\nMost would say teachers, but i never had a problem with teachers... they had problems with me :-). The worst thing for a teacher is having a student who is a sneaky troublemaker, yet gets excellent grades. That is me to the tee :-)

High school is very little work for many with intelligence.\n\nMy sincere suggestion is that if high school really is challenging for you, then you really need to study to prepare to be an adult!  Even if you work at McDonald's for the rest of your life, you still need a few basics...

All depends on the student.  My advise, don't take the easiest for you.  School is for learning, knowledge is power.  Take something that will challenge you.

No, you only think Japanese students work harder than American children because that's what the media TELLS you happens.\nIn reality, it all evens out. It's just Japanese parents put much more stress on children to succeed and classes aren't as "fun" as it is in America that's the difference.\nJapanese high schools might seem harder than American high school, but at college it completely switches. Japanese college is easy compared to American, and many Japanese students try hard to be allowed into an American college because, when an employer is looking for a job candidate, a Japanese man that's been to America (thus proving he must know English very well) looks better than one who went to Japan (and knows everything that everyone else in Japan knows).

I buy that.  I teach myself and it is very funny to watch when we have all district meetings.  Each grade teacher behaves the way that their students would.  High school people are very serious and business like.  Elementary school teachers are serious but more touchy feely.  Middle school teachers (like me) screw around and throw things and get off task.

i learned that the really strict catholic school i went to up till 8th grade taught me a lot more than some of the other schools around were teaching. in 9th grade i took all the honors or college-prep classes, and a lot of it was stuff i had already done in 6th grade. but, that kinda hurt me too, because i had already done that stuff, i got used to not having to really work at it. by 11th grade things caught up with me, but i was so used to not trying that i didnt care to open a book at all unless i was going to fail.

Most high schools have placement tests that will put you in the course where you will be challenged but won't struggle if you pay attention. If your school doesn't do placement tests then I would start in the track 1 class. If it gets too hard you can always switch. It would be harder to switch to a more difficult class though, you'd fall behind if you did not start there.

School isn't more difficult, but today's students lead more complex lives, therefore life in general is more difficult.  Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, but the paradox is that it complicates our lives because we keep trying to complete more tasks in less time.  After 20 years of teaching high school English, I can report that I see students steadily regressing in reading comprehension and writing skills, yet I see them increasing in technology competency.

Homework in 7th grade is important for you to get in the habit of doing it through highschool. Homework in highschool is imortant to recieve good grades so you can get into a good college. Getting into a good college is good (and doing homework there) so you can get into the profession that you want.

College classes are more compressed.  The amount of material covered by a year-long high school class is covered in a semester in college.\n\nThe burden for learning is shifted from the professor to the student.  The professor presents (professes) the material, but does not really have to teach it.  It is up to the student to learn.\n\nYou are responsible for attending class and studying.  No one will make you do it.\n\nThere can be a lot of distractions like boy/girlfriends, parties, alcohol, etc.\n\nDon't be scared away by this!  If your grades and test scores are high enough to be admitted, then you can handle it!  These increased responsibilities are just part of growing up, and they are not as stressful as being out of college and having to support and make all decisions for  yourself and your children.
