Let me just say, it is time to move on.  The kids have decided that this is the end and they don't have to do anything.  I have spent the last few days calling parents, writing letters to parents who I can't reach and lecturing on good behavior.  We are trying a new program school wide next year and I think it will work.  It is called Responsible Thinking Process.  I got to see the preview and I am already trying it in my class.  I think it will work great.  I need to practice and make sure I am into the "mode" so I don't go off the deep end and just yell anymore.  I am tired of yelling and being mean all the time.  This puts the responsibility on the child for their own behavior.  I am looking forward to using it.  I wish I had already had the training.
