How do I change win 8 to classic view. See this for some options... http://www.infoworld.com/d/microsoft-windows/9-windows-start-menus-windows-8-208963. I have tested both Classic Shell and Start8. Of the two I like Start8 the best.
I can't speak for other schools, but my middle school (7-8th grade, in silicon valley) was split into core subjects and electives, with the core subjects being: english, history (world, then U.S.), science, math (through algebra I), and P.E./Health.
A middle school (also known as intermediate school or junior high school) is an educational stage, which exists in some countries, and takes place between primary school and high school. The concept, regulation and classification of middle schools, as well as the ages covered, vary between, and sometimes within, countries.
