resolution

We had a meeting today before anyone got snacks in the Underground. I think it went pretty well. After much thought last night and today, I opted to have a meeting of the minds. We talked about good behavior, the need for rules and how frustrating it is to be one person cleaning up after several people.

And so the solution seems to be teams. The youth will be divided into teams and each day, a different team will be responsible for cleaning up at the end of the day. The team will get a point when they complete everything on the checklist. After getting 5 points, the team can pick from a list of rewards or come up with their own reasonable reward. Hopefully this will help and give the youth a sense of cooperation. Leaders will be junior high and high school youth.

As for me, I'm far less cranky today. The UG closes soon and then I'm going home for dinner before heading to the football game and back here for 5th quarter. If I can rope some kids into blogging from 5th quarter, I will.

Cheers. And thanks for letting me rant at you yesterday.
