Author's Note: This is a compare and a contrast between Asa and
the last school I went to. I am working on repeating things less often and
describing things well enough so people can understand.
I have been to a bunch of different schools and the last school I
went to was Tomah Middle School. It is northwest of Pewaukee. There are many differences between Tomah and Asa, and most of them are better at Asa.
The similarities between the schools are that they have all the
basic classes, science, social studies, English, and math. The second
similarity is that they have periods for each class. Another similarity is that
they both start and end at different times than most schools do. Most schools start
around 8:00 in the morning and end around 3:00 in the afternoon.
There are many differences between the two schools. The first
difference is that Tomah has ten hours. Each hour is 43 minutes
long. While at Asa they have 5 hours . The second
difference is that they don't have resource, they have study hall, and it is at
5th period, which is the middle of the day, while resource is
at the end of the day. Another difference is that Asa starts earlier and ends
earlier than Tomah, Tomah started at 7:55 am and ended at 3:10pm, while Asa
starts at 7:30am, and ends at 2:45pm. Another major difference is that the
middle school is for 6th – 8th graders, while
Asa is 7&8th graders. Another difference is that the 6th grade students would be in either 6-1
or 6-2. 6-1 students would be on one side of the school and the 6-2 students
would be on the other side of the school. While here everyone is the same. The
biggest difference is that Asa Clark has Academy 21, while Tomah didn’t.
There are many differences between Tomah an Asa, and most of
them are better at Asa. That is because Asa Clark focuses more on independence
than Tomah. I can't be entirely sure that Tomah is the same as it was two years
ago, but those are the differences between the two schools from what I remember about Tomah.
