<p>Does anyone here have a Freshman Academy at their school? We have one here, but we all hate it. </p>
<p>Basically how it works is that freshman are in their own section of the school, with all the same core (s.s, sci, math, + Eng.). The admin. tell us it will prepare us for the rest of high school, put us on the "right track", but they treat us like we're in elementary school.</p>
<p>But I'm happy because I only have 2 classes down there, World Geography(req.) and Honors English, plus advisory. Since so few have skipped ahead, they let us got to the rest of the schoolfor our other classes. We also get incentive Fridays, where the people who were good all week get to do something like watch movies or have parties during advisory.</p>
<p>I just wanted to know how common this is, so please reply!</p>
<p>We have that. It's called Central Ninth Grade Center. I liked it when I was there because I got to know everybody in my class a lot better, but now that i'm a senior i can't stand it because all the incoming sophomores think their hot ***** because they're used to being the top class(since they are the only class for a year.) needless to say, its pretty annoying</p>
<p>We have teams I guess (for underclassmen). And we're supossed to have all our core classes around the same place. They did a whole thing where teachers moved around and stuff, so that everyone's core classes are around the same place.</p>
<p>But I have no idea how that worked, because that didn't happen for me.</p>
<p>We have a "ninth grade wing" where supposedly all of our core classes were in freshman year...I guess a few of mine were in there...and people were taking all kinds of different classes. I think I take more classes in the freshman wing this year than I did freshman year...lol.</p>
<p>we have "freshman academy" by the same name. Actually, my situation is the exact same as yours. We call the field of portables that is freshman academy the "freshman village." It wouldn't suck so bad if we had a decent FA administrator.</p>
