Hello. I have a 7th grader who gets too too much homework. I stumbled on this website when looking for info on a short story he needed to write a paper on. How in the world did I make it though my own middle school education without the internet? :)

good luck, Mom! I hope you and your son find a lot of good help here. What short story are you looking for?

I actually found it....short story, The Open Window. I had trouble understanding it, but think I do now. I know I'll need help again in the future!

I'm glad you found it. Maybe you're son will join, too. There are several kids, my 8th grade daughter included, that are part of the forum. It's such a good bunch of kids.

I will definitely sign my son up to use this forum. I was surprised to find so much information. Middle school in our district starts in 7th grade, so the transition from elementary to 7th has not been an easy one so far. Hoping it'll improve
