Re: Re: Obsessive Behavior

These kids are too smart for you! LOL I have never heard of a kid more

stubborn! Mind you, as you said, you have moved from " nuffin " but walking

away doesn't work either! Give it some more time, it may work out yet.

And I didn't respond to the repeating part because I just don't know what to

think about that one. I repeat EVERYTHING I say, part of the job! In fact

today I was saying to my grade 4's " when you finish circling the numbers I

want you to take another colour..... " and a boy interrupted me to say " Mrs.

B. I'm done what do I do now? " CUT ME RIGHT OFF!!!!

That's when I decided to take a sip of my coffee!! Anything to delay my YELL

" YOU NEED TO LISTEN!! "

Even better, I say it 3 times, in 3 different ways and they still say 'what

do I do now? "

And for Adam I know nothing goes in if it's said once, so I will repeat it 3

different ways (using different words) so all I do is hear myself repeating

myself non stop so I figure it's normal for the kids to say something 6

times. I don't think it's OCD or anything to be concerned though, in all

honesty. I think it's just another way to get your goat or it's just

something to do. I wouldn't be concerned (and I know you aren't).

So now I will repeat my email to you again............

LOL

We do have a good time don't we? Where do you live again? Maybe you all

should move to Canada! So I can have a good laugh with you all. Or even

better, once ne makes a guest appearance at Niagara Falls from

Australia again, we should all meet there (just the moms and some good

bottles of wine!!).
