my soccer team is already challenging but yesterday, OMG, i basically suspended the majority of the team from practice on Friday. My coach just got a shout out from the organization on Facebook which is great, but these kids take advantage of the nice guy he is. So today i need to pull some of the kids and have smaller conversations and a plan, i am going to see if our restorative justice staff person or the psychologist has time today. this is a vent/release more than anything and i have a lot of tools to work with this so i don't so much need advice as just a chance to share. a couple of the girls would NOT stop talking and arguing so when i saw their parents drive up i escorted them out of the building and shut the door while they were still arguing. 2 boys apologized but i am not backing down on friday. one poor kiddo got upset listening to my lecture that he started to cry so i took him out and told mom he still had practice since he was so good.

i wonder if part of this is the full moon, the regular behavior went through the roof yesterday. anybody else work with kids and notice they are extra crazy? they haven't had holiday candy or missed recess due to rainy weather either.

Doesn't read clearly. Your team, yet your not the coach (didn't think kids teams had owners)? You don't mention the/any issue (basically ramble). and point the finger at a bunch of "crazy kids", while the other fingers are pointing back at the one not clearly making any point.
Is the "full moon" affecting your communicating?:confused:

Oh yeah, I wrote this at 6 am without much sleep. I probably should edit/delete

I am the administrator of after school so my coach is hired and supervised by me. The practice went bad enough to suspend a lot of kids from the following practice. When I have to step in that is serious enough but to have kids continue to argue after I made that decision really was difficult. So I escorted them to parents and let them continue to argue while I walked away. The school day also reported behavior yesterday was a bigger issue.

Then the day ended with the school being put on a lock-down, basically our security called us and said no one could enter or leave the building. We were there an exttra 25 minutes for the lock down.
