  Case: Middle School Relationships
I am currently in my 6-12 Internship. A common issue I have noticed is that many students start "dating", but then they quickly break up. This is starting to cause issues where certain students will not want to work together in their groups due to negative feelings towards each other because of a break up. I have tried changing the groups, but then another relationship arises that causes issues. I am not sure how to have the students work collaboratively without the drama. Any advice would be appreciated.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The students should be aware that collaboration is apart of their grade, not to mention it can be a good life lesson for them. We're all going to have to work with people we don't like but we need to learn to be mature and get the work done. You can't constantly move them around because they want to date and break up. Be stern but also understanding.
