I teach in a public school at grade level 7-12 during the day and at night to non-traditional students who are usually not of your typical college age. I do teach much of the same content at both levels, but at different levels of thinking and application. It is sometimes difficult to do a switch or remember what mode I am in when I am teaching and what expectations I am setting forth. Not that I should be expected to babysit during my day job, but I do feel very much like I am a daytime babysitter compared to how well behaved my night-time adults are in class. Maturity is obviously the reason, but I find myself sometimes setting the standards too high for my younger students or too low for my older students.
