I have to agree with Michal here. Some teachers know they belong in
middle school.
Those who do love it. I've heard too often, when people find out I
taught middle school
for 27 years, Bless you !! I laugh, but I understand, yet I loved
every minute of it. If you
are not cut out for middle school then teach a different level. It's
important to find your
nitch and then work at being the best at what fits you. The kids will
benefit from it.
