pet??? By Gray

As for music, I tried that avenue during the holidays and played jazz music as they entered homeroom. Well, that lasted all of five minutes, because several students began dancing to the rap station they had changed it to and had the volume blaring to boot. That day my CD player went home.

Don't get me wrong animals and music can work in some situations. Just expect the unexpected and go from there.

By the way, even with all of the above, I wouldn't trade my kids for the best blue ribbon award winning school students. Inner city kids are the best!
