Thanks, LindaR!

I will check out the Raise Responsibility System, as well! I see so many posts where it seems that SO MUCH effort is placed into behavior management. I think that is great if a teacher truly wants to spend her time doing
those types of systems but I get exhausted reading about them!

I used to be a big fan of the whole classroom economy thing...and then I realized during one of my brainstorms about it how it would dominate my time as a teacher. Then I started hearing all sorts of different systems and strategies. In a summer class last summer, the professor always spoke of "logical consequences...logical

consequences"...and it never made as much sense to me as it did when I started reading Love and Logic. I am really looking forward to checking out the site on Raise Responsibility.

In the meantime, could you tell me, do you communicate about kids' behavior to their parents? I did this everyday last year in my second grade class, but that was before my whole Love and Logic discovery. I am not sure that daily communication would really fit that whole approach. Just wondering how you handle that! I'd love to hear your feedback!
