Good night at class

well at least in class, I was feeling great about the day, until I returned home to find out via a parental email, that certain students were misbehaving outside of the classroom, and as such will not only have to address the situations, but possibly terminate 3 or more students ability to come to class. As this parent entered the building far after the students were reprimanded about being outside. I fear that I will lose a secretary in this regard as my belief is that 4-5 children under her supervision may be at the root cause of the problem. One student at minimum is on his last chance, whether he understood it or not, this semester to shape up and listen or he will be cut. Also I feel that 5 other students, much soon put aside their playfulness in class or be on that same ship; as they cannot seem to relax around each other. While partly parents are to blame for leaving their children at the center early as if it were a day care, that is no excuse for "advanced" student misconduct outside of the punishable eyes of their instructor.

So up to down, but man I LOVE KICK A THON, can't wait, it is my favorite fund raiser and hope for it to be extra successful this summer as we have far fewer students that in previous times, I don't believe my previous poster sized tactics will be effective, nor do I think I can come up with a reasonably achievable, overshoot goal for them. In some classes $1000 would be split amongst a mere 40 kids making each one have to raise only $25, but in reality that number on KAT day might be only 25-30, and usually only participating is 2/3 of all students thus making each one need to raise slightly over $60...... which as per summer activities fund raising isn't their high point.
