As a second-year middle school teacher in the heart of Chicago, I sometimes wonder if my students have formed a secret society dedicated to resisting every lesson I deliver. Their creativity in dodging learning would make Houdini jealous! 😅 Despite my best efforts—and the looming threat of extra homework—they seem determined to treat my subject like a forbidden fruit. Am I alone in this academic tug-of-war, or is there a hidden playbook I missed in teacher training? If you’ve cracked the code or have your own battle scars, please share your wisdom (or commiserate) in the comments. Maybe together, we can outsmart these pint-sized strategists! Let’s brainstorm solutions, because my coffee budget can’t keep up with this level of burnout. ☕️🤦‍♂️ What’s your secret weapon for winning students over?
