O.M.G. I'm in a similar situation - it's like being back in Middle School! For the most part, I keep my head down and teach. I'm a "teacher...
I'll also say something. We have 4 "specials" at our school (kids visit one twice). Two have good classroom management and actually care about...

There is a major AF base here, plus two Army depots in the area. 100% of my students will have less to eat at home, especially if this continues...
