almost didn't post...

because I didn't want to seem to be prolonging an 'argument', but I have a couple of questions and opinions too. I take away recess for the same reasons one poster mentioned (playing or such in class) for the same reason.
If they have played when they should have been working, then they work when they would play. I can totally see how that relates to adults. Just for example, if I don't work on my lesson plans during my breaks and after school for a while (when I should work), then I must take it home and do it on the weekends (when I should play).

I would like a suggestion or two as to what to do

with little Billy who draws pictures on his paper/hand/desk, twidles his thumbs, stares out the window, whatever instead of doing the problems on his page. When else should he be held accountable for it? It's not an option to send it home because it won't come back. If it does it's in older brother's/sister's handwriting (or even mom's or dad's). To be honest I don't care what they know about the subject, I want to know what Billy knows.
