Mercury is going retrograde?1 Sigh. I have ten students with major behavior problems who are going to bounce farther off the walls than they have for the last four weeks?!
Korie, that has got to be super challenging!
Maybe there are some reflective thinking types of exercises you could give them to help them settle down?
When I was teaching mini-courses at a local high school, I'd have them watch some movie that would make them think - like Sixth Sense!! Most teens haven't seen that movie, and it was always a delight to see their expressions when the movie ended LOL!! And the conversation it prompted was amazing!
Kids just want to be heard. Sometimes I wonder if the Mercury Retrograde enhances that need, and that's why they do so many attention-seeking behaviors?
Luckily, it's just three weeks
