Last Wednesday I went to Hand Middle School for the required dry run. We saw some of the students walking around the school, however we won’t actually meet our mentees until next week. My brother is a 7th grader at Dutch Fork Middle School, so I think it’ll be interesting to see what sorts of things pose problems for children in his age group. While I’m excited to meet my mentee, I’m also a little concerned about possible attitude problems. With my previous job experience with children, we always threatened time-outs and then they would behave. Now since obviously I can’t do anything like that, I’m not entirely sure how to handle a kid if they turn out to be rude. Regardless of that, I’m really looking forward to getting more experience with middle school children and helping them in whatever way I can to succeed in school.
