Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)

I am a new teacher(15 years as a para) I just started this year in middle school. I have some really disrespectful and disruptive behaviors in two of my classes. Ignoring instructions, being loud and blurting out. Getting other students going. I am so sad for the ones that want to learn! I have called home and will again tomorrow. I just don’t know how to gain respect from these few students. Any feedback would be great.
