Let's be honest here: 6th graders are completely new to middle school, and they don't know anything...but somewhat they pretend they do. That's just because in 5th grade they were too used to playing the 'I'm older I'm boss' game. Now, these 11/12-year-olds are in a new environment with older kids, so they've got to pretend like they know everything just to fit in. In 6th grade, you're like the 'kindergarten babies' of middle school, so most of the jokes go to you.
To 7th and 8th graders: 6th graders may seem like the small 'kindergarteners', but remember, THEY ARE NOT 5 YEARS OLD. In their first few weeks or months, they may seem to be nervous, tense, or quiet. Then, they'll start warming up to you and stop being argumentative. Remember 7th graders? That was you last year! So in their first few months, PLEASE don't make jokes about them being too short, too quiet, or just not fitting in with you all.
