After we got back last night I ran and then played soccer with the Eastern North Carolina corps for a while. That’s one thing I’m going to miss about institute is the other corps members. The people who play are actually pretty good – there’s a few former D-I players in the mix. Sadly, my playing got cut short because I had to meet with my CMA. The meeting was better than previous ones. The point system was more effective when I was giving points to the class rather than taking them away from the class. What I might do is instead of giving myself points in the future, I might either (a) take away points from the class and instead of giving myself points and have the class goal to be to get a certain number of points rather than trying to beat the number of points I have or (b) just give positive points and nail kids for negative behaviors with consequences.
