Paddling

Mr. F- alerted me to an interesting and informative NY Times article on paddling. I had no idea it was that prevalent in the country, outside of the Delta.

Paddling for my class has gone way down this year. In fact, I have only sent 2 children to the office so far. It happened on the same day, about 2 weeks ago. R- stuck D- with a pencil, and then C- was in a bad attitude and got his clip moved all the way down. I must have been way off the ball that day. Most days are pretty smooth sailing, and my biggest problem is some calling out or putting heads down on their desks.
