Hate to break it to you, but for 8th graders shutting up takes effort.
Used to be one of those 8th graders. Can confirm. My inability to shut up was hilariously inconvenient and consequential
Hahaha now I see why I was always the quiet kid people were worried about.
I was too afraid to talk and it was much easier being off in my own world inside my head.
Apparently that hasn't changed much.
Same, for me it was exacerbated by classes forcing students to be quiet.
Hate to break it to you, but this is my 6th year teaching 8th graders and my 18th overall, everything from elementary school through college, and I know more than you...namely, how these 8th graders this year are very, very different from any other group of students any of the 8th grade teachers this year have ever experienced.
[x] doubt
The fact that this class has more difficulty focusing shows that it does take effort, and your earlier classes were more successful.
You mentioned class sizes of 30+ this year, were they that large in the past? That size class is way too large and lends itself to chaos as it is hard to keep them all engaged.
Sorry, where did you get your two education degrees from again, and how many years have you been teaching?
I am new to this school, but the teachers at the school who had 8th graders last year have confirmed their class sizes last year were the same, but the student's were not nearly as unruly. The 7th grade teachers who had my students last year have some classes in the 30s this year and last year, and they have confirmed that this group of 8th graders were also hell on wheels last year, but that their 7th graders this year are much more well-behaved.
