Is it just me or am I visiting another planet? I know that I was once a middle school student, but SURELY!!!!!!! I wasn't like this.
My daughter was diagnosed as delusional at this age and I'm starting to wonder if they all need to be.
What is it with them when you are looking right at them when they do something and they say, "I didn't do it!"?
I am so confused. Why do they think they know everything and we know nothing?
This is by far the most difficult job I have ever had to do. It's so hard not to get down on their level when they are so hard to rationalize with. It kind of reminds me of headstart and kindergarten.
The biggest difference being that those kids have not yet grasped the concept of following rules and it is acceptable because they are 3 and 4 years old. But my gosh...12, 13!
Where is the lapse in development?
I'll get back to you on that...
I feel you on that note. I use to work with middle school and high school children. I had to reconsider. They thought they were older than I. Now I work with preschool and I began to wonder why so many of them just don't listen and like to play all the time.
