I just don't love middle school

One of the things I love about subbing is the variety in my job.  I love knowing that no matter what happens, I don't have to return to the same classroom the next day...this is true about 95% of the time.  I prefer to take high school jobs because I know most of the kids, I usually get to see Andrew and Catherine at some point (maybe even have her in class), and the high school kids are really great, most of the time.  Monday I subbed in third grade, and while it is exhausting being with the younger kids, I really do enjoy the early elementary levels as well.  They are are crazy, but still mostly sweet.

Tuesday was a day in middle school.  Two weeks ago when I subbed in a business class, I had to send a child to the principal for being rude and disrespectful.  Overall, I just don't love middle school.  I had taken the business job just because it was business, and I had taken this week's middle school job because it was social studies.  By the end of the day though, my dislike for middle school students as a whole was reaffirmed.  I can't even begin to describe it, but between the hormones and thinking they know it all, and yet the childish behaviors that still happen, I just don't like middle school!
