  22. What should I expect from my student as they enter middle school? • New people will enter their lives and different behaviors may arise as a result of this. Open communication, patience, and understanding will go a long way. • Students may become more independent and will fight the notion of parents interfering in their lives. Establish the idea that you have the right to question, inspect, and investigate anything going on in their lives.
