If I hear this phrase again from one of the 8th graders, I may run screaming for the door. At my middle school this current class of 8th graders seems to be the most problematic in terms of loudness, not showing respect for teachers and each other, maturity and boorish behavior. They have problems with all the specialists and I hate the idea of dreading them but I am starting to.
   
  They are not going to go away, so I am working hard to keep them busy, happy and learning. Ah a noble task but heck it's my job.
   
  I want them to at least enjoy coming to the library during their schedule classes. Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated. Our schedule has them coming to the library 2x per week for 45 minutes.
   
  Thanks to any who respond,
