It’s a well-known fact at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Middle School in San Francisco that the toughest time to teach is right after lunch. Kids are tired, and trouble that starts at lunch can sometimes carry into the classroom.
Today, the academic counselor is trying to mediate between two girls who were sent out of the classroom, and who are arguing about who’s responsible. Later, three adults have to restrain another girl from running out into the hall.
These girls won’t get suspended today, but they will lose learning time because they will sit in a room while school staff enter the incident into a database and then they will meet with a counselor.
