Remember Tuesday and the green-yellow-red behavior system in Mack’s kindergarten? And remember Mack being told by his dad that if he got through the whole year without any yellows, he’d get a car?

Today’s the second day the system was in effect and Mack’s not getting a car.

He was talking when he should have been listening.

I spoke to Mack about it and told him that it wasn’t fair to be loud in class. I said that all the other students were being quiet and trying to learn, and if he was loud that was disturbing to them.

His reply was, “No. The other kids see that I am talking and then they all do it, too.”
