Tell the kids: "Here are some areas we're going to start working with you over the next few weeks or until you've learned more pro-social and positive habits. If you refuse to comply and work on your thinking and behavior, we will put zero's on your Conextions paperwork. This may delay getting higher stages, chances are you may increase your stay, you'll have NO priviliges, and when sent to Security you'll be gone from the dorm for a matter of days, not hours. If you still continue to refus... Continue reading ...

Another missed opportunity to do the right thing...
NEW DIRECTIVE: The kids are to sleep under their sheets. OK... we tell them this, a number of times. They KNOW the expectation. BUT... there's problems.
Do the 2-10 JCO staff monitor this when they can watch them all go to bed at 9:00? I'D say yes, it's their responsibility.

No, there's nothing much positive to say today. It's probably a GOOD THING that a blog post I'd just been writing on got poofed out into the ether after I got a little trigger-happy on the mouse and blitzed it off to never-never land. I was getting just a WEE BIT testy there towards the en d... and while I can never hit all those exact same keys in the exact same order, below is the gist of what I had written. Enjoy, and keep posted. Sure there will be more fairly soon. GRRR. Topics include... Continue reading ...
