What's High School Like?
Dear Guidance Guy,
I am going to high school next year, and want to know if there are any big changes in the way the teachers act towards the students. Do the teachers support the students or do they say "oh, if you failed that test, it's your own fault?"
Thanks,
Softball Chick

Dear Softball Chick,
There shouldn't be any big changes. Most high school teachers expect their students to be a little more responsible than when they were in middle school. They want you to have homework done and do your best to learn.
Most high school teachers are also very happy to give extra help to students who are REALLY trying to succeed in their class. If you have trouble in a subject, it's a good idea to ask the teacher to go over things again.
And the best part - - if you pay attention to what the teacher says, many times the things they test you on will be right in your notes!
Have fun in high school,
The Guidance Guy
