I cancelled their field trip.
For throwing pens and fighting and cursing and refusing to do work and not listening to directions.
It was not a logical consequence.
It was not fair.
In 10 seconds I took away something we've all looked forward to for over a month.
But the respect that they used to show is slowly fading away and something needs to change.

Someday I will tell you about The Day I Cancelled the Second Half of a Field Trip Because my Newcomers Started Screaming at the Top of Their Lungs in Central Park.
