Whew, the mad whirl of the beginning of school has begun. Day three and I am exhausted. Fortunately, the former 8th graders from last year have moved on to High School. But, WOW, the new group we have are really pushing the line. I so want to be positive, but I can't seem to find much to be positive about, just a new group with the same behaviors. How do I find the positive when I am slapped in the face with attitudes and defiance everytime I walk into the classroom?

Did you set your guidelines and classroom norms?? Did you communicate how your class will run for academic responsibilities and behaviors?? You have to let your students know that you're in charge, and that they need to be cooperative from the get go.

I do everything I can to find positive things I can recognize. What a great transition that was quick, calm, and quiet. Good job! Thank you Fred for speaking so clearly. etc

Remind yourself that those kids won't be here forever 😅 . I'm so grateful some kids will no longer be at my school.

What are your client follow-up/communication policies or practices? I’m hearing more and more that clients don’t like the long periods of time with little to no contact. From my perspective, since I bill for my time, unless I have an update or need something, I don’t initiate a call. Also, clients hold on to important info and don’t initiate a call cause they’re waiting for me to communicate with them.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
