Middle Schoolers!!!

So middle schoolers are soooooooooooooooooooooo hard!! And yes all those extra "o"s are necessary :) Recently the principal at our school asked us to fill out "intent" forms for the next school year so that she could figure out staffing. They are not binding on either side, so that keeps one thinking.......... I circled "would like to stay at PBA", but after these last few days with y middle schoolers I'm not sure I'll be able to survive another year of them. I know that my students come from drastically different backgrounds and struggle with things I didn't even know about until college, but sheesh these kids are ruthless. They have no pity, and they attack like Purana's. Vicious little creatures. So I'm not quite sure what to do. Do I look for another position, or suffer another year to pad the resume?? 

Even though this post sounds gloomy I have to admit that some of these kids have really blossomed and been fun. The only problem is the good ones don't outweigh the bad ones.

We shall see how all this pans out.......................hopefully I survive!
