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.
For a kid, going to middle school often is a big change: 1  First, it usually means moving to a new building, which takes some time to adjust to. 2  Second, it may mean taking a different bus, with different students. 3  Third, the friends you made in elementary school may end up going to different middle schools.
