Middle school students are great. But sometimes they're also punks. Michelle has a rule in her group: Don't be a jerk. Our students don't always live by that rule. But we get to watch them grow, mature, and change over time. Sometimes... a long time. This week Michelle and Ronald talk about how to handle the punk kid, even when they end up on stage to play a game. What are your plans for dealing with that student? Who are your adults that you can partner with the rough student? Why is it important to have a plan in your head for when students are jerks?
