[quote=Anonymous]Our MS was messier than usual at the beginning of the fall.  A few disciplinary issues, but more issues with kids with anxiety.  A lot of teachers were a little rusty both on classroom management and just their processes of forming relationships with students in person.  Now things are smoother.

Overall, I think MS  is a pretty joyful place to be. Kids that age are as goofy and off-the-wall as they always have been. I think the kids going outside for lunch adds a really nice sense of spirit, and they often go outside for PE too.  They seem pretty healthy and happy. The 15 min break always has a lively social buzz about it (though right now it has been paused at our school for testing).  I've noticed a lot of the kids seem more resilient and a bit more aware of the world than maybe in years prior--I see it in classroom discussions and in their writing. The top students don't get as freaked out about an A- or a B+ as they might have done pre-pandemic.  So teachers are fairly burnt out from having to retool so many times and cover lots of gaps, but at least for me, I get energy and happiness from the students.[/quote]
