We now know a good 40% of the kid population by sight (we are lacking in info about 4th-8th grade). And it's a lot easier to threaten a misbehaver when you know their name or their mama's name! They are a snotty bunch though. I can't believe the disrespect that is tolerated in high school classrooms, even in small town America. If you mouthed off in class more than once when I was in high school, your ass was in the office and you were way more worried about them calling your parents.<BR/><BR/>Glad JH is having a spectacular time. Kindergarten is going way better than we ever hoped for (said with fingers still crossed) and my older son is a reading fool, racking up the AR points like nobody's business.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571931282231386159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395166533939958460.post-6704446988105597562007-09-26T13:44:00.000-07:002007-09-26T13:44:00.000-07:00I love it that you called them out on their behavi...I love it that you called them out on their behavior -- I think it's the responsibility of all grown ups everywhere to straighten kids out (verbally) when they get out of line.<BR/><BR/>It takes a village, baby.<BR/><BR/>I think I might be in a small camp on that, though -- I see too many grown ups look the other way in situations like this.suttonhoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292408097588177380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395166533939958460.post-29929616602922803672007-09-26T09:09:00.000-07:002007-09-26T09:09:00.000-07:00grrrrr, I can't stand situations like this. The w...grrrrr, I can't stand situations like this. The worst is when you say something to the child or parent about how the behaviour is unacceptable (ie throwing a ball at my door in the waiting area of a music school), and the parent actually tells you off.<BR/><BR/>How do people get like this? I truly don't understand.Lolabola*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05963109907514760086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5395166533939958460.post-77457028752278706602007-09-26T07:40:00.000-07:002007-09-26T07:40:00.000-07:00He gets his enthusiasm from his Mommy!Annie I so h...He gets his enthusiasm from his Mommy!<BR/><BR/>Annie I so hear you on the kids out of control thing and the parents being clueless. The sad part is that they intentionally ignore the child's behavior therefore making it seem OK when what they really need is someone to look them in the eye and give them an earful of well you know...<BR/><BR/>That's my favorite thing to do when I take the kids to the park, find the kid who's messing with everyone else and confront him (bullying - the latest school issue nowdays) and they will either leave or stop. How hard is that? Parents need to get a clue or visit the dr. before the kids come along.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376974466380402238noreply@blogger.com
