Ethnomethodology

I came across this word in my reading and wasn't quite sure of its meaning- so I looked it up. The definition, although being applied to research, amused me when thinking about middle school students.
The definition reads as:
Ethnomethodology simply means the study of the ways in which people make sense of their social world. If I every truly figure out the middle school social world, I will retire early!
