Kelly the Rebel

Kelly's pushed the envelope on rebellion a little too far this
time. We've tried to work with her on getting enough sleep, and on
eating enough in the morning to have fuel for the day. But today, she
chose not to yell or throw a tantrum when disagreeing with a
teacher.

Today, she chose to quietly peel a patch of wallpaper off the wall in
her classroom. The teacher told Jean, and Jean asked her why. Kelly said
that she was mad the Mrs. Wentzell insisted that she do her work like
all the other children, and she pulled the wallpaper off to get even
with her!

Jean and I had a conference in the woods, and the concensus is as
follows:

• Tomorrow, Jean will meet with Mrs. Wentzell with Kelly, to determine
  if the damage can be repaired by a small child using common materials,
  like glue.
  
• If so, Kelly must seek out the janitor and ask for said
  supplies. She has to own the repair task.
  
• Kelly, with supervision, will make the repair.
  
• If, on the other hand, the repair is beyond simple
  techniques, Jean and I will offer to pay for it.
  
• Kelly will be banned from treats and new toys until we judge that
  'she' has paid us back for the repair.
  

On top of all this, I'll be letting her know how disappointed I am in
all this, and letting her know how lucky she is that I am not my
dad. Otherwise, it would be 'the belt'. Ugh.
