  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!)
I think a great solution would be to be more engaged in walking around. They may feel more inclined to do the work if they are being more supervised. Make sure it is understood that they have to complete the work in their groups.
