I have tried
everything I know how to do. We have class meetings every day. We sit in a
circle, pass an object around, and try to find solutions (the kids aren't
great at that yet.) My biggest problems occur outside of the class meetings. I
cannot get them to listen to me and some have been very disrespectful to me
and to my co-worker.

Upon my arrival to Roosevelt Elementary as Principal, the discipline plan
focused on external rewards and punishment. The rewards consisted of little
cards that were given to students for good behavior. (If a child did anything
good they expected a card.) These cards were put in a pot, ten cards were
pulled weekly and a prize was given
