I can usually spot them. They give little clues away on the very first day. Rules and guidelines and consequences mean nothing to them. They thrive on creating chaos. How to stop them before they start? Ideas will be greatly appreciated and I will pass them on to my colleagues.

Btw, I teach MS (7th and 8th graders)
Lynde I'm with you. I too teach middle-school. Typically, it's the boys more often than the girls. One thing I've tried that seems to help a little bit is to stand near them even on the first day. A "nail" them right off the bat. I gently put my finger to my lips to acknowledge that I'm well aware that they are beginning to talk during Teacher Directions...See More

VET Sounds like a good idea, Lynde.

I hope your next school year is even better.
