Burnett Middle School

My step son has been going to this school since he was in 6th grade this is his last year he is in 8th grade...hes is in Advance classes and has lots of friends he has never had a problem being bullied and is nice to everyone. He is respectful and other than sometimes being a chatty catty he has never had any behavior problems...and because of this, burnnet has been a great school....middle school is never easy no matter what school you go to....its full of pubesant boys and girls starting to find themselves and their independence it all boils down to the parents....i believe parents have to prepare children for middle school....prepare their confidence and mental state or they will not make it thru unscathed. The only complaints i have is the fact that they have lockers throught out the school yet they do not allow the kids to use them. My step son is not a big kid so he has to lug a huge bookbag full of all his books on his back all day its not good for his back and posture. Also could they make that school look anymore like a prison? It might help if they made the school look more lively. The school pschologically wards kids away from learning, it makes them feel like they are being force or their being locked up or caged...if they could make the school look more welcoming and do away with the fence that borders the school give it a paint job plant some trees and flowers it might help the children learn and feel welcomed..
