Anyone taught kindergarten or elementary schoolers and then made the switch to middle school? I thought it’d be nbd, but middle school is a different beast. They keep testing my patience. Any advice?

I went from 5th to kindergarten. Not an easy transition, but doable. Ultimately, your management and high expectations stay the same, with many changes to your developmental considerations and teaching style. I used to love my 5th graders at the beginning of the year, and couldn't wait to get rid of them as they became emotional, stinky, hormonal beasts by the end. I can say the opposite for K, as the beginning of the year is rocky as I teach and reteach (and reteach) expectations,, but gets much better as they grow and develop towards 1st grade.
