  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!)
This is where real life problems come into play. I would express to my students the concern and difficulties that I have faced due to their relationships and how I will no longer be accommodating to their social needs within the classroom and just as in the workplace where they will eventually be, there will be people who you do not want to work with but will have to respect them anyways and get the work done.
