I’m in middle school. I teach ELA and reading. As a serial looper (lol done it twice in my 4yrs), I highly do not recommend unless you’re seasoned.
I’ve gone from 6th to 7th then 7th to 8th. A majority of the kids were the same but some tested out of intensive, so I got a semi fresh batch. This year it paid off with routines, relationships, and test scores.
Everything Fletcher said is true

I learned that I can handle anything and would do it again just at a different phase in my life. I had so many medical issues this past 2 yrs. I love the content at 8th and the maturity. In the future I’d like to try 9th and 10 grade.
I disliked my team in 7th and this one in 8th is also Annoying. 39:43 I think it’s more that I like to work independently and haven’t gotten used to that.
