Welcome to middle school! In our class, there probably will be days when you don't like the people you have to work with. The good news is that you will learn how to work with people you don't like. Remember, when I pair you with someone, or assign you to a group, I am not telling you that you have to like those people and become friends with them. What I am telling you is that you will learn how to work with those people to get the job done. We all have to remember to treat each other as we want to be treated. Respect, kindness, consideration, compassion, and fairness go a long way in learning how to work with all kinds of people!
