Elementary schools and middle schools have many traits in _
common. Typically, both are open five days a week for a set _
number of hours each day. Students sit at desks in classrooms _
and are expected to listen to and learn from their teachers. There _
is a set time for lunch. Each day, students are given homework _
assignments. Students take quizzes and tests. In all of these ways,
middle school should feel somewhat familiar to new students.
