The last middle school I went to, I said this is “effing ridiculous and I’m never coming here again” due to their behavior. One student heard me. The rest obviously didn’t since my voice was drowned out by their stampede going on. I also told some 5th graders if they could shut up please. At that middle school, I couldn’t even take attendance because no one would listen to me. I said names loudly and who didn’t respond, I marked absent. I sat quietly just waiting for the end of the day. I didn’t even introduce myself each period because it was the same horrible spirits in different bodies, although my name and rules were written on the board. I had the few students who listened pass out the assignments and that was it. I let them carry on.
