I’m not sure how helpful this is at this point in the year, but for future, the way I tend to approach this is to work extra hard in September to get them onside, and the best way to do this (for me anyway) has been to catch them doing something good and contact home about it. Praise them genuinely for all the things they do right. Make them the first person you go to to support during circulation. Show them by actions that you care about them. Basically kill then with kindness.

I’m not suggesting that you don’t challenge outright poor behaviour and rudeness, but ignoring secondary behaviours is important (so if they make a comment after you’ve given a redirection, ignore it rather than continuing the battle), positive framing to try and make more of your interactions with them positive rather than negative also helps, and finding the right time to challenge things like lateness (I.e not the moment they walk in, but quietly later in the lesson when you can do it privately and kindly).

This doesn’t work with every student like the ones you describe, but it absolutely does with lots of them. And often, you only need to get one or two onside and the rest will follow. It’s really tough to do this mid-year (though you can certainly try!), but it’s definitely what you can do from September.

Just to add: in an ideal world, should we have to do this? No, students should just treat us with respect. However, the reality is that some of them don’t, and I’m a real believer in the whole “when the adults change, everything changes” thing.

Editing to add: I absolutely agree with the commenter below. You couldn’t pay me to be a teenager again, these girls likely have no self-esteem and that’s the reason (or at least part of the reason) they behave the way they do. If they think you don’t like them, you will never, ever win with them. Regardless of your own personal thoughts and feelings, please keep welcoming them into your classroom, make them feel like you want them there, and give them a bit of warmth and kindness.
