My wife has a good friend who teaches second grade. She gets assigned
all the drama queens and kings. She shuts them down real quickly. When
they don't cooperate, there are consequences, mostly missing recess.
Some of them get incredulous. How could they miss recess? And if so,
she couldn't possibly keep them in for the whole time. Well, yes.
