Jefferson Middle School at 27900 Rockwood Street, Saint Clair Shores, Michigan.

I believe that overall, Jefferson Middle School is a wonderful place and although I like many others complain on a daily basis complain about the obligatory school things like having to get up at an ungodly hour, that comes with nearly every school and can't be changed. The main problem I feel with this school is the students, there is so much drama that exists for no reason and people get so upset and over react about almost everything. Granted, that may just be because of the harrowing ordeal of emotional brutality that comes with everyone's adolescence and that's just some student's way of expressing their repressed emotions. On the subject of teachers, it all comes down to luck, currently as an 8th grader I have Mrs. Liolli, Mr. Kueppers, Mrs. Gilsenan, Mrs. Beckman, and Mrs. Harris for my core/mandatory elective classes and I believe that although some don't show it (looking at you Kueppers) genuinely and deeply care about their student's success and are incredible educators. Forming good relationships with these people is easy and their dedication to the art of teaching is obvious. My only dislike of the school is the ZAP program because I think it's a waste of time and that students who don't do their work don't deserve a grade on it. I would also like to thank every teacher I've had at Jefferson because even the teachers that I didn't form good relationships with or didn't like still taught me important life lessons I will carry with me throughout my education and professional life.
