Teachers Discuss How They Deal With Rowdy Middle School Boys

I don’t think it’s a controversial statement that middle school boys are the worst.

Kids do not treat their teachers well. That’s such a well-known fact I don’t even think it’s fair to call it a «cold take.» When I was a teen, I was very sneaky about how I would resist the tyrannous will of my teachers. Me and my friend Brooks put a stink bomb in our …
