I've also vowed that I'm not going to being consequences for school behavior home this year, as this has made little to no difference in the past. Again... we'll have to see.
That's our policy. I looked over DD's teacher's behavioral policy with DD, and I pointed at the very lowest level, where the teacher notifies the parent, and I said, "Unless you behave so badly that it gets to that level, I don't care. Anything else that happens for the day is between you and your teacher."
DD8 is a behavior perfectionist, and perfect behavior in a bad educational environment has caused her some significant stress in the past, so I find myself in the unique position of overtly encouraging a limited amount of mischief.
