I agree he got what he had coming... You can't be always be
getting caught for breaking the same rule and not expect
unpleasant
consequences. Lucky for you that you were around to be the
witness.
As to why he did it... maybe it was convenient and he always
thinks he won't get caught again. Why doesn't he just purchase a
parking permission, though? To save the money? He's not a
scholarship student, so presumably his family can afford it?

Mr. P made it very clear that Reeve has ran out of tolerance,
and his car will be towed next time. I believe there were also
be additional - more personal - punishment. Considering that
Reeve is 18, and the shape he was in after the paddling, I would
hope it made an impression on him. Sometimes that's all you
really need to do is make a serious impression.
The problem with buying a parking pass at this point is that
he'd be at the back of the lot.
We'll never know why Reeve keeps doing this. My first guess
would be that he has a problem being on time, so he parks where
he should most of the time, but violates when he's running late
and wants to save a few minutes. And let's be honest s- while
I'll name no names, it's easy to look around the American
political situation these days and see plenty of people who feel
they should be allowed to get away with whatever they want.

I wasn't quite clear on what Reeve would have faced if he had
said, "Oh yeah, I'll pay the fine. Here's a Franklin." Would
that be the end of it and he moves his car and then heads on
back to class, or is it a little more complicated?[/quote]
Outside my pay grade. I believe the student handbook
specifically warns of 'escalating consequences' for multiple
violations, but I don't recall if I ever saw what.
[quote author=Adric link=topic=349.msg3264#msg3264

through the police? How else would they know the name and
address of the registered owner and trace it back to
Reeve?[/quote]
I would assume so - well, more likekly the Department of Public
Safety.

I'm not very much in favor of monetary fines for such things as
this, as money means a great deal more to some people than it
does to others. There are people who repeatedly break the laws
simply because they have plenty of money to pay the resulting
fines.[/quote]
No, but that's the good thing about having escalating fines.
And, in the case of people without money - Mr. P seemed willing
enough to substitute the paddle.

Had Mr P and Reeve already discussed and decided what his
punishment was going to be before you went into Mr P's office?

I believe so. He knew he'd be paddling Reeve when he asked me
into the office, so it seems likely.

It'll be fun to see Ralph in class today.
The theater where we saw Death Cure is older. They've done a
lot of remodeling over the years, but their men's room doesn't
have privacy guards on the urinals. Ralph and I ended up next
to each other, and he doesn't seem especially shy - he has a
pretty cute (and decent sized) package.
It was also cute at the house that night. He apparently loves
animals, and spent some time visiting Van, including going to my
room to see the ferrets (with permission). Ralph and I talked
for a while, and he asked about the Red Maple. I told him that
I don't share specifics about my kids discipline. I let him
know that I do spank, but I'm not going to say who, when, or
why. I suggested he wouldn't like his dad telling me. He just
shrugged - he was wearing lounge pants with no shirt, and the
pants kept sliding down his barely existent hips to reveal his
Hanes briefs, though they were light gray instead of white this
time - and said his dad almost always uses the belt. "When I
was little, he used my belt on my pants most of the time, but he
says if it's serious enough for me to get the belt at my age,
it's too serious to keep 'em up anymore.'
I still didn't tell him anything about Colt, but I did answer
his general questions, which was more about school anyway.

Isn't it surprising how spanking works its way into a
conversation. Seems boys are just curious about spanking.

When you paddled Tyler did you go back into your classroom to
get your paddle after you had decided on Tyler's punishment?
Where do you keep your paddles in your classroom?

Well, some of you were right that Count of Monte Cristo probably
wasn't the best choice to start. On the other hand, I was also
right that there's enough stuff going on around the edges that I
was able to keep everyone engaged while we slogged through the
start.
My syllabus is up in the air, but I decided to go with a more
modern, American novel after this one, and one that's a bit
shorter as well. Because of the rules I set up to make sure I
do different books than I have in the past, and because I don't
want a lot of boys mad at me for making them cry in class (which
means no Ol' Yeller or Where the Red Fern Grows), We're going to
do Hatchet by Gary Paulsen next, and then I'll give the boys a
few options on where we go after that.
In the meantime, word certainly did get around about me paddling
Tyler, and how he rated it. I first heard about it from Kim
Malone the next day, though she heard about it from Scott and
Tyler, not from her own (first grade) students (by the way -
Paden has a crush on her). I have had a number of requests for
parent conferences, which aren't exactly easy on me, since I'm
busy after school. I've been able to work some in before
school, some in when I get off around lunch time, and, with Mr.
P's permission, I've had some parents (and students) visit me
here.
Remember pretty much every kid in these classes is an
underperformer in one way or another. Pretty much all their
parents expressed some degree of thankfulness and support to
have a teacher who was going to 'ride herd' on them and
'wouldn't tolerate any trouble.' I'm all like - most of the
kids are at least decent looking, so I don't mind paddling them,
but I'm really just here to read and talk about books, if
they'll play along. Still, it is nice talking to the parents,
especially when the kids are there, which gives us a chance for
the kids and parent to understand what they both hope the kid
can get out of this class. Actually, most of the kids dno't
really have an idea that they should expect to get anything out
of this class, which is something we're going to discuss as soon
as we reach a good break.

Good idea Jack. Have a discussion about what they can expect
to get from the class. Or at least what you hope they can take
away from the class.
Parent/teacher conferences have to be tough, but at least you
have parents that are getting involved.
A book that I enjoyed as a boy was "A Separate Peace" by John
Knowles Although there could be some crying with it?
So if no crying, I guess "The Yearling" is not an option. :o
