She Gets It
Read this, and realize that middle school teachers rock. For example:
Place optimistic teachers, who love kids and remember what it is like to be half-child, half-adult, in the middle schools. We have to be optimists; we have to believe that these awkward children are going to grow up into beautiful adults. (source)I'm posting this for me, as much as any of you, to go back to the next time I have a day like yesterday.
Immense challenges. Some days, immensely fun, although yesterday was not one of the fun days. Worth every minute.

I think middle school teachers should get hazardous duty pay. They are saints. My aunt in Boston taught middle school English for over twenty years. She also drank a lot.
Ican't imagine teaching middle school--and I admire those who can...even 9th graders drive me insane with their remaining middle schoolesque behaviors.
As the mom of a middle schooler:
Thank you.
As the father of a middle schooler, ditto to the above
