End of year. Is it always like this? This is my first year at hs. It's getting near the end and the kids suddenly hate each other, hate all the teachers for "making them come to school" and for expecting that they do any work at all or even show up. This is a complete personality change from how they were last month. How do you deal?

I've been long- term subbing at high school this semester. There is a permanent position available for next year. It's a small school with almost no teacher drama. 95% of the kids are great but about 5% are looking for drama, baiting teachers and trying to get them fired. After 25 years teaching, that's not how I want to go out. Should I apply for the full-time?
