There a comes a point in time when you have to decide that enough is enough. You have given Little Glenn just about all the chances he could possibly need to make better choices. Well he makes that same poor choice again and you are done! Unless you are not done.
When do you say that enough is enough? When have you given a kid his last chance to learn that lesson and make the right choice? Do the other teachers admire your ability to set limits early and fast? Or, do they admire your ability to give chance after chance after chance with the patience of Jobe?
I don't know too many kids who wake up and say, "Today is the day I interrupt my teacher so much that she loses her cool and drags me to the office!" I do know some kids that may seem to wake up that way though. For the 88th day this year, Little Glenn has interrupted you incessantly. He didn't wake up deciding to be the supreme interruptor, but he is wearing that cape anyways. Does he get chance number 89? Or was yesterday his last chance?
