How Can I Control My Classmates

She has begged to see me all day. The teacher and I have tried to figure it out. But it has not worked out, so I see her in the morning. She is a fourth-grade delight. With a big problem. She needs to know how to control her classmates. I suggest that she let them be themselves. This is a letdown for her. She thought I had a magic potion. Sure, I do have a pointy hat, and a broom. I again let her know that she cannot control them. The teachers say we are loud and not focused, she tells me. I know the eleven knuckleheads in her class. They are not wrong.

That is so funny, Caren, that a student wants to "control her classmates," so she can help the teachers, I presume. I always loved the knuckleheads best. Was there something wrong with me????

If we only stop and observe the knuckleheads we might at least gain understanding of why we feel the way we do. I once observed with intentionality my sisters during party planning. LOL!
