We tried natural consequences last year (see the first post in this thread). I couldn't handle having the Vice Principal complain to my husband.
But, now that the weather is getting better and the snow piles aren't so high on the side of the road, maybe it's time to make her walk again. She happens to have English first period. It isn't her favorite subject, but she needs 4 years of English to graduate. So if she was absent/tardy too many times for English, she wouldn't get credit for it and she would have to take ANOTHER English class. She's having a hard time finding enough English classes that she wants to take anyway.
Hmmm. I'll have to see if I dare.
By the way, she was so angry at me because SHE was late for school. What gave me the right to make HER late for school? (Answer: I was ready to leave on time so she could be on time for school. She was the one who was late) She still thinks it is my fault.
