Today was the first day we had "Conclave." This is a time for us to just shut the door and talk about what is going well and what is not going well in our lives. If some one wants advice we offer it. But sometimes we just want to talk and have others listen.
Issues on the minds of our 9th and 10th graders include: missing assignments, getting along with teachers, learning to play by all of their teachers' rules, taking classes they need instead of classes they don't need and where nothing is being taught, time management, staying out of trouble, dealing with drama from antagonistic peers.
On the good side, they are happy about staying out of trouble, good classes, avoiding drama, and looking forward to a summer travel opportunity.
I taught the Sophomores the Relaxation Response. They giggled a bit, but their homework is to practice it twice before Wednesday.
