After my encounter with Mouthy Boy 3/4 period, my day just kept getting better (read with sarcasm). My last block just about drove me up the wall. They had plenty to do and not a lot of time to do it in, but still felt entitled to be morons. I admit, about half a dozen of them do what they're supposed to do, when they are supposed to do it, and they don't complain or make smart remarks. But the others, well, that's a different story. It's like sitting in a room chock full of overrated stand-up comedians. I got so tired of their incessant laughing and lame anecdotes. I just sat at my desk and stared with an erupting loathesome feeling. The last 10 minutes of class, I made a blunt statement that I was going to write some ASDs for those who had been noisy the whole time. Amazingly, the whole room got shockingly silent. I said, "isn't it funny how you don't get quiet until you think I'm writing you up?" No response. So, away I went, writing 3 ASDs for the Top 3 Comedians (one being The Charmer). I kept them after class for a moment after everyone else left, and notified them of their write-up. They were of course surprised. I explained why I was writing them up and how I was tired of it. And then they left and I called home. I only got a hold of 1 out of 3 parents, but she was in agreeance that her son The Charmer was great without his friends, but with them, he was just about out of control. I left messages at the other two houses. We'll see if I get any calls from parents. Probably not.
So, when I got home from work, after taking a relaxing shower, I told my hubby that I wanted to eat greasy, bad-for-me food and we went to Jack-in-the-Box. And then Dairy Queen for dessert. I feel better...

I think it must have been a strange moon/universal thing-I had some issues myself with Jolie on thurs and fri of last week. but I thought it was because of the terrible family week we had...
your school should take up the program of "Character Counts" It's a good one, and I always refer to it for parenting strategies for Jolie. It came from a Christian thing, but they took the Jesus out of it for public schools. I am either having Dejavu, or I have already told you this before. Hm.
Oh, we have Character Counts in FULL SWING here. In fact, when they serve ASD, they copy Character Counts stuff. I do weekly journal entries on it, they give awards at the administrative level for good behavior, etc...
oh, good! how long have you had it at the school? do the teachers there believe in it/support it?
