How I Feel About Lunch Duty

Lunch duty is never a delightful experience if you ask me. Maybe if it is a bunch of children from kindergarten, second or first. When it is fourth, fifth and sixth grade, a nightmare it can be. If I was working in a middle school, I bet it might be worse. The children are tired of talking not a whit throughout the day. They have a difficult time getting themselves under control. I have attempted to get their attention every which way. They enjoy the atmosphere, while my eyes try not to roll. I just had duty with another teacher who likes to play. She gets them excited and happy and a bit louder I swear. Then she wants them to shut down instantly her way. It would be easier if I did duty alone, but do I dare?
