The difference between this year -- where I've had to write, like, two disciplinary referrals all year -- and in years past, is a certain lack of surprise from having seen a wiiiide percentage of the worst behavior students have to offer.<BR/><BR/>That experience has helped me shed a lot of insecurity and afforded me a certain confidence that permeates <EM>everything</EM>. Students want a confident leader and I feel like this is the first year where I've seen enough to give that to them.<BR/><BR/>I'd sum up this year's disciplinary experience with <A HREF="http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=41" REL="nofollow">post</A>, which references <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ar757bcmr9Y" REL="nofollow">this clip</A> from <EM>The Wire</EM>. Since you've got, like, acres of time and whatnot.<BR/><BR/>Seems like you're reaching that point prematurely. Cut in line again and watch what happens to you. I've got the referral written up and everything.<BR/><BR/>This is a great post and a sharp blog. I'm subscribing.

I've often thought that the biggest contributing factor to student misbehavior is sheer boredom. That can be corrected with a little imagination and an educator's willingness to try something new.
