There are a few reasons we are switching to sc. One of them is because the students cannot handle the transition. My teaching partner doesn't have the best management of her class and my class walks all over her. A lot of

my students come back and are mad that they have to go over there for social studies (I teach science to both classes). Another reason is that in our grade level we have the highest achievment gap. With AYP we need to make sure we are hitting the areas that these students need help with. For most of them it's reading, writing, and math. By not switching it would allow more time

for the aides I have to work with them and it would allow me to be more flexible with them as well.

I feel like it's my fault the way my class behaves when they go over to her room. I know it's not but I just can't help it. I have never had a class act like this when going to her class. Believe me in years past students have said how boring it is blah blah blah and I tell them to be respectful and get used to middle school when you have different teachers and they all are different. This group just doesn't get it.

In my room they are alright for the most part. I don't have that many problems with them because they know the consequences. Over there...AHHH!!
