I teach 6th - 8th Grade. The last few years our 6th Graders have been atrocious with behavior and attitudes. This year my worst group has been the 7th Grade along with several 8th graders. Which grade do you teach that offers the most challenges?

I absolutely love 7th grade. I find that I have to teach them about class culture and structure or things go south quickly.
When is the appropriate time to ____ ? (decreases distractions)
How does it feel when someone says ___ ? (increases kindness)
They just aren't fully consciously aware of these things.

I think that there is a chat feature.

From my experience anywhere between 6th and 9th grade can be tough. Developmentally a lot is going on, if there are problems at home I think those start to make themselves painfully apartment in class. The bullying often starts around now, and it isn’t for a lack of being naive, they are purposefully doing it then. Very tough times.

But when you bring up the topic of bullying, they act so innocent, like "Who me?! I would never be involved in bullying" , and they're usually the ones doing it.

I wonder if it’s COVID related-with the online learning and being 12/13 now would mean being 8/9 at the time so old enough to notice disruptions differences pre and post

I think a lot of our reading difficulties stem from the Covid ordeal. I have never seen so many students struggle with reading and comprehension

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
