My husband and I started teaching preteens about 24 years ago -- when I was only five. We are currently taking a sabbatical and fill in for the fifth grade department as often as possible (looking forward to this Sunday with them, in fact!). Meanwhile we served last year as mentors in the young married couples' class at our church (I think we were really there for remediation) and are now enjoying our new status in the "empty nesters" class.

Since the mid 80's. Preteen characteristics haven't changed much since then (despite what they'd like you to think), but their ability to absorb/assimilate/comprehend information sure has.

At the moment, three middle schoolers live under my own roof (6th, 7th, and 8th grades)! I hope I'm teaching them the right things! We teach 6th graders at FBC Shelbyville, Ky. We worked with youth as newlyweds, but preschoolers and elementary kids the past few years. We have such a neat group this year!

I taught six graders for twelve years, and loved it. Now I just finished my first year teaching fourth graders. They keep you on your toes. I think teaching adults would be boring.
