I've previously mentioned the universal red/yellow/green conduct scoring system that seems (based on my conversations with other parents) to prevail at Houston area schools. But I'm happy to report that in first grade, the boys appear to have turned a corner. They still aren't perfect, of course, but their conduct sheets always reflect many more greens than yellows, and so far only one red. Plus, even when they receive yellows, it just doesn't seem that big of a deal anymore. For example, Joseph came home with a yellow the other day, which he apparently got because he took all the markers and fastened them together to make a tall tower. Frankly, I'm just not going to spend much time worrying about that behavior.
Which is a good thing, because I've got plenty of other things to do.
